Decorating the Christmas tree seems like child's play, but it's not. To get a stunning result for the ordinary photo that you will share on social networks, special method and attention to detail is needed.
We have compiled a manual that explains step by step how to decorate a Christmas tree worthy of the name, rich, full of decorations and enviable.
From choosing the tree to positioning the lights and decorations, here's how to decorate the perfect Christmas tree with the secrets of Christmas designers. Because it is only by following very specific rules you will have a beautiful Christmas tree.
How tall should a Christmas tree be?
If the ceiling is very high, but space is limited, it is better to look for smaller diameter trees without sacrificing height.
The rule is that the top of the tree should be 50 centimeters from the ceiling.
How to recognize a beautiful tree
The second option to consider is the number of branches. The more branches and twigs there are, the more beautiful your tree will be.
Spending a little more will ensure you have a perfect Christmas tree for many Christmases to come. The best ones are those with short shaped branches and many short branches at the top.
How to open a Christmas tree
The opening of branches is a fundamental moment. Those closest to the trunk are opened to be perpendicular to the trunk, while the outer ones should be shaped one by one, giving the last branches a slight downward curve, to get an effect similar to that of natural spruce. If the tree is beautiful and the branches open well, the lights would be enough for a decent result.
How to choose lights for the Christmas tree
Lights are essential to a Christmas tree and do most of the work themselves, so it pays to think carefully about which light you prefer, or which matches best with your home's decorations or furniture. The first difference, which applies even if you choose white lights, is between cool or warm lighting. There is no better, it is only your personal taste that matters.
The only important thing is to pay attention to the color of the thread, because if you have a light tree you will not have to choose dark thread and vice versa. You can't go wrong with the transparent one.
How many lights are needed?
For a good result you need lots and lots of lights. The general rule of thumb is that 300 lights are needed for every meter of tree height.
For the back you don't need much, but it's always better to put a little to light up the wall behind.
How to put lights on a tree
First of all, test them before you mount them, so you don't waste hours of work only to find that a wire won't light.
Then fasten the connectors to the trunk. Always start from the outlet side and the starting point is at the trunk of the tree, not on the side or anywhere under the base.
How to put lights on branches
Do not rotate the lights around the tree. Starting at the trunk, slide the string of lights along the branch to the tip, let it loop around the top of one branch to secure it, and return to the trunk before moving on to the next branch.
In this way the lights will give depth to the tree and the effect will be complete and beautiful. And above all there will not be a web of electrical wires between the balls.
How to put decorations
Once you've filled your tree with lights, move on to the decorations, following just one rule: never place them in a row, either vertically or horizontally.
The arrangement should be homogeneous but apparently random.
Dimensions of decorations
Contrary to what you might think, it is not necessary to place the largest decorations at the bottom and the smallest ones at the top.
Larger balls can easily be placed throughout the height of the tree, it is important to have small ones scattered in between to harmonize the result.
Take advantage of depth
Whether your decorations are big or small, don't just hang them at the top of the branch, but use the full depth of the tree.
The goal is that once the tree is finished, you won't see the wall behind it.
What color to decorate the tree
It's just personal taste, even if there are different trends from year to year. In any case, do not be afraid and dare with new color combinations, in addition to the wonderful classics.
The rule says that for an optimal result you should mix between four and seven colors.
What to do when the decorations are all different
Choose a neutral decoration to spread around the tree, among other decorations, so that they create continuity in the eye.
It can be small balls, twigs, flowers or ribbons.
What can the Christmas tree contain?
Anything can go on trees. Don't necessarily limit yourself to what is sold as decor, you can put stuffed animals, pictures, cookies or objects of all kinds on your tree. Everything can become a decoration and the more it reflects what you like, the more personal and beautiful it will be.
The last rule
Don't skimp when it comes to Christmas and every extra touch you give to the tree will make it richer.
So bring out all your creativity and unleash the Christmas spirit within you. (A2 Televizion)
