Easy Steps to Decorate a Christmas Tree

Decorating your Christmas tree is a fun way to get ready for the holidays! It helps make your home feel warm and festive. The good news is, you don’t need fancy skills to make your tree look great! Just follow a few easy steps to create a tree everyone will love.

Start with a pre-lit tree, or if yours isn’t, string your lights evenly around the branches before adding any decorations. Add a tree collar and/or a skirt to dress it up! Then you can begin decorating. On this tree, you would first string the gold wood bead garland evenly around the tree, starting from the top and working your way down. Next, hang the ornaments. This tree has velvet balls, mercury-look ornaments, gold bells, pinecones, stars, and clear icicles. Be sure to spread them out for balance. Then, clip on the candles and tie velvet bows around the candles for a classic touch. Finally, finish your tree by placing the bow topper at the very top.

The Ralph Lauren style is very popular this year, and you can get the look even with a flocked tree. Use plaid patterns, dark greens, rich burgundy, and gold accents to create a warm, classic feel. First, fill empty spaces with plaid ribbon and berry stems to add texture and color. Then, hang gold balls, velvet flocked ornaments in deep shades, and gold stars. Finish by tying velvet bows around the branches and placing a star at the top.

I hope these steps help simplify decorating your Christmas tree!
