Decorating Your Christmas Tree
By Ruzica Milevska

Choose A Theme.

This is a matter of taste. Some people have beautifully
decorated trees that are a Hodgepodge of ornaments, themes,
colors and mementos collected over years.

If this is your first Christmas Tree and you do not have any
ornaments or mementos to add to it yet then start simple. Pick a
theme like Snowman Christmas Ornaments and choose a few and add
one or two colors of Glass Christmas Ornaments Balls to
compliment the selection. You can change the look each year by
adding something extra or even taking something away, as your
tastes and home change.

Adding Large Decorations.

After the lights are turned on, stand a few feet away from the
tree and squint. You will see where all the large holes are. You
can adjust the C7 lights to fill in where you can and then add
larger ornament balls, floral picks or other large ornaments to
the other spots. Some types of ornaments you could add here are
3-4 inch diameter ornament balls, any style ornaments that are
4-5 inches long or floral picks or bouquets.

Adding Garlands.

Next you add any Garlands you might like. These can be the
traditional Popcorn Garland, Cranberry Garland, Candy Garland,
Gingerbread Garland, Foil Garland or Tinsel Garland. You can
even add a green garland such as an Apple Garland with Pine
Cones. The rule of thumb is 2 yards of garland for every foot of
tree height.

Add the Green Garland first. Start at the top of the tree and
work you way down draping it in small curves that increase
gradually as you move down the tree. If you will also be adding
Popcorn, Cranberry or Crystal Mirrored Garland, then you will
want the Green Garland a little further back on the branch to
let the Bead Garland hang on the edge of the tips.

You can also use Unique Christmas Ribbon as garland. The rule
of thumb is the same and you add it to the tree in the same
general manner.

Adding Ornaments.

Once the Garland is in place hang your smaller ornaments as you
like. This is where you hang the smaller ornaments in your
chosen theme, such as Fish Ornaments, Military Nutcracker
Ornaments or Nutcracker Ballet Ornaments or Glass Christmas
Ornaments.

Finishing Touches.

There are many things you can add to the very ends of the tips
for special effects. If crystal will go with your theme you can
add crystal or crystal like icicles or even old fashioned tinsel
icicles.
