Putting up a beautifully decorated Christmas tree at home is what many people want for Christmas. In the eyes of the British, decorating a Christmas tree is not as simple as hanging a few strings of lights on the tree. The Daily Telegraph carefully lists ten necessary steps to create a "good" Christmas tree. Come and see if your Christmas tree is decorated correctly.
step 1: choose the right location (Location)
If a plastic Christmas tree is used, be sure to choose a place near an outlet to avoid scattering the wires from the colored lights on the living room floor. If a real fir tree is used, try to choose a shady place, away from heaters or fireplaces, to avoid the tree drying out prematurely.
Step 2: Measure up
Measure the width, height and distance to the ceiling of the tree, and include the top decoration in the measurement process. Allow enough space around the tree to ensure that the branches can hang freely.
Step 3: Fluffing
Adjust the branches of the Christmas tree with hand combing to make the tree look naturally fluffy.
Step 4: Place the strings of lights
Place strings of lights from the top of the tree downward to evenly decorate the main branches. Experts recommend that the more lights the better, with at least 170 small lights for every meter of tree and at least 1,000 small lights for a six-foot tree.
Step 5: Choose a color scheme (Colour Scheme)
Choose a coordinated color scheme. Red, green and gold to create a classic Christmas color scheme. Those who like the winter theme can use silver, blue and purple. Those who prefer a minimalist style can choose white, silver and wooden decorations.
Step 6: Decorative ribbons (Garlands)
Ribbons made of beads or ribbons give texture to the Christmas tree. Decorate from the top of the tree down. This part should be placed before the other decorations.
Step 7: Decorative Hangings (Baubles)
Place the baubles from the inside of the tree outwards. Place the larger ornaments near the center of the tree to give them more depth, and place the smaller ornaments at the end of the branches. Start with monochromatic decorations as a base, and then add more expensive and colorful decorations later. Remember to place expensive glass pendants at the top end of the tree to avoid being knocked off by people passing by.
Step 8: Tree Skirt
Don't leave your tree bare and without a skirt. To cover the base of the plastic tree, be sure to add a shelter, either a wicker frame or a tin bucket.
Step 9: Tree Topper
The tree topper is the finishing touch to the Christmas tree. Traditional tree toppers include the Star of Bethlehem, symbolizing the star that led the Three Wise Men of the East to Jesus. The Tree Topper Angel is also a good choice, symbolizing the angel who led the shepherds to Jesus. Also popular now are snowflakes and peacocks. Do not choose an overly heavy tree topper.
Step 10: Decorate the rest of the tree
It's a good idea to have three trees in the house: one in the living room to "decorate" the tree for neighbors to enjoy and to pile Christmas gifts under. The second tree is for the children's playroom, so you don't have to worry about kids or pets knocking it over. The third is a small fir tree planted in a pot and placed on the kitchen windowsill.
