Decorate your Christmas tree in 6 easy steps.

Step 1. Build your Christmas tree

If you have been searching for the perfect Christmas tree, we've got you covered.

Before purchasing a Christmas tree, measure the floor area and height of the room to choose a tree that best fits your space.

When you find your tree, follow the assembly instructions and ensure that it is properly secured on a designated stand.

Once assembled, fluff your tree branches to make them look natural and authentic by shaking and brushing each branch.

Step 2. String the lights

Once your Christmas tree is assembled and it’s time to light it up.

How many Christmas Lights should I use?
Choose the number of lights you need based on tree height.
100 lights = approximately 1 1/2 ft.

How do I hang the Christmas lights on the tree?
Start by stringing lights together and plugging them in to ensure they are functioning. Once you’ve tested the lights, begin wrapping them around the tree. Starting at the top of the tree, weave string lights throughout the branches working your way to the bottom.

Step 3. Add garland & ribbon

To add a little dimension, add some garland, beads or ribbon to your Christmas tree.
Start from the top and work your way around the tree.

How much garland do I need?

There should be two strands of garland per foot of tree height. (ex. 6 ft. tree = 12 strands of garland.)

Step 4. Place your ornaments

Before decorating your tree, ensure that your ornaments have the proper hooks.
When hanging your ornaments, start placing them from the middle of the tree, working your way outwards.
Try using a combination of textures and finishes to create visual appeal.
Use the simple ornaments as a base and place fancy and novelty ornaments strategically in the front areas of your tree.
Spread all the ornaments out evenly and ensure tree decor is balanced.
Tip: Adding oversized ornaments towards the center of the tree gives the tree more depth.

Step 5. Add a tree skirt, band or collar

Don’t leave the bottom of your tree bare. Use a tree skirt to add a full, finishing touch.
Once you have your skirt, place it at the bottom of the tree, covering your tree stand and any wires that are exposed.
