Final Touches:
After selecting your theme, follow these steps to make your tree truly shine:
- Start with the Lights: Weave lights from the base to the top to ensure a balanced glow. Use soft white lights for a warm ambiance or cool LED lights for a modern touch.
- Add Ribbon: Place ribbon next to the lights, tucking it into branches and creating loops for added dimension.
- Place Ornaments Strategically: Start with larger ornaments and space them evenly around the tree. Add smaller ornaments as fillers, and place special ornaments near eye level.
- Finish with Stems and Toppers: Use stems as fillers in sparse areas, and choose a topper that complements your theme.
