Decorating your Christmas tree is a fun tradition and instantly adds a festive feel to your home. Here are the steps to a perfectly decorated Christmas tree:
1. Choose the right place
Make sure your Christmas tree is in a stable place, where it is not in the way, but is clearly visible. Also think about the power connections for the lighting.
2. Put up the tree
Set your Christmas tree up securely in a stand or basket. If you have an artificial tree, follow the instructions for setting it up and make sure all the branches are well spaced.
3. Decorate the base of the tree
Start with the base of your Christmas tree. This is an often overlooked detail, but with a Christmas tree skirt or a sheepskin you can make the base extra atmospheric. The sheepskin that you receive when you spend 75 euros or more is perfect for this purpose!
4. Place the lighting
Start with the Christmas lights. Work from the inside out, so that the wires are less visible. Make sure that the lights are evenly distributed and that the inner branches of the tree are also nicely lit. Try hanging the lights in the tree first before adding the other decorations.
5. Hang the larger decorations
First, place the larger ornaments, such as large balls or figures, on the outside of the tree. Make sure they are evenly distributed so that the tree has a nice balance.
6. Add the smaller decorations
Now you can add the smaller ornaments and decorations. Think of streamers, Christmas figures or glittering stars. Distribute them well over the branches, from top to bottom.
7. Finish the tree with the peak
The peak comes last. This is the highlight of your tree! Place the peak firmly on the top of the tree and make sure it is secure.
8. Let the tree 'rest'
Once you are done decorating, take another good look at your tree. Adjust the lighting and decorations as needed to get a balanced result. Enjoy the view and the coziness that the tree brings into your home!
With these steps you will ensure a festive and well-decorated Christmas tree that you can enjoy to the fullest in the coming weeks!
