The Tree:
– Pick a perfectly shaped tree or buy an artificial one
– If working with an artificial tree, but sure to fluff the limbs to make it look full
– If working with a real tree that isn’t as full as you would like; add some fillers. (Evergreen, pinecones, berries, or our favorite – real magnolia leaves!)- The Lights:
– You can never have too many lights on the tree
– When stringing lights, work in and out to ensure each part of your tree is perfectly lit - The Ribbon:
– Pick 3 different, but coordinating ribbon styles. If the ribbon is different widths, it gives the tree some added interest
– When working around the tree, weave in and out so that all of the ribbon is not sitting on the perimeter of the tree
– Cutting the ribbon in strips and working in a random pattern helps the tree to not look so symmetrical - The Ornaments:
– Use different sizes, colors, and textures
– Tuck ornaments in and out the same way as the lights and ribbons to ensure there are no holes in your tree
– The larger the tree, the larger ornaments you will need
– Pro Tip: Use your less expensive ornaments for the fillers in the back and more unseen places - Gifts: (Yay!)
– Gifts are another way to decorate your tree. Purchase gift wrap that coordinates with your tree décor
– We suggest buying 3 different types of paper, bags, and ribbon. Switching the combinations on each present – Happy wrapping!
