Decorating your Christmas tree is a fun tradition and instantly gives your home a festive atmosphere. Here are the steps for a perfectly decorated Christmas tree:
1. Choose the right spot
Make sure your Christmas tree is placed in a stable spot where it is not in the way but still clearly visible. Also consider the power outlets for the lights.
2. Set up the tree
Set your Christmas tree firmly in a stand or basket. If you have an artificial tree, follow the instructions for setting it up and making sure all branches are spread out properly.
3. Decorate the base of the tree
Start with the base of your Christmas tree. This is often an overlooked detail, but with a tree skirt or a sheepskin rug, you can make the base extra cozy. The sheepskin rug you receive with purchases over 75 euros is perfect for this purpose!
4. Place the lights
Start with the Christmas lights. Work from the inside out so the cables are less visible. Make sure the lights are evenly distributed and also illuminate the inner branches of the tree nicely. Try hanging the lights in the tree before adding other decorations.
5. Hang the larger decorations
First place the larger ornaments, such as big balls or figures, on the outside of the tree. Make sure they are evenly distributed so the tree has a nice balance.
6. Add the smaller decorations
Now you can add the smaller ornaments and decorations. Think of garlands, Christmas figurines, or sparkling stars. Distribute them evenly over the branches, from top to bottom.
7. Finish the tree with the topper
The topper comes last. This is the highlight of your tree! Secure the topper firmly at the top of the tree and make sure it is well attached.
8. Let the tree "rest"
Once you're done decorating, take another good look at your tree. Adjust the lights and decorations as needed to achieve a balanced result. Enjoy the view and the cozy atmosphere the tree brings to your home!
With these steps, you'll create a festive and beautifully decorated Christmas tree to enjoy throughout the coming weeks!
