10 secrets to decorating your Christmas tree like a professional

Invest in a high-quality artificial tree. Fluff and shape branches. Design around a theme. Start with the lights first. Choose the right decorations. Cluster your baubles. Layer and style ribbons. Use tree picks.

One may also ask, how do you hang garland? Heres how:

Attach several clear or white removable hooks evenly spaced on top of the mantel. Securely tie fishing wire around the garland to align with the hooks. Tie the other end of the fishing wire around the hooks tightly, so the garland is hanging in front of the mantel in a draping effect.

Subsequently, question is, when decorating a tree what goes on first?

To showcase your favorite ornaments, place them in prime positions on the tree first. Next, hang your larger ornaments, spacing them evenly around the tree. Ornament balls in one color but several sizes and textures will create continuity from top to bottom.
