Tips in decorating a tree

Inspiration in decorating the tree can be obtained through existing designs or ideas from the ingenuity of others. Still, there are tips that could help in achieving a festive holiday décor.

When it comes to attaching lights, start at the base of the trunk then work your way up by wrapping lights around every major branch—move from the trunk to the tip and back. In contrast with lights, garlands should be started from the top and eventually increasing in layers as you go down; use about two strands of garland for every vertical foot of tree.
