How To Decorate The Perfect Christmas Tree
Have you ever wanted the kind of Christmas tree that takes people’s breath away but doesn’t quite know where to start? Lights. Ornaments. Ribbon. Tree-toppers. Pulling all this together in a beautiful presentation can frustrate even the most experienced decorators.
5 Easy Steps to Decorating the Perfect Tree!
Gab Schwarz, from Gift of Gab Design, is our in-house resident, Christmas tree extraordinaire! She and I are excited to share with you a step-by-step process to create the Christmas tree of your dreams.
How To Decorate The Perfect Christmas Tree
The first thing you will want to do is to put your tree together and install the lights. The most important thing to remember about hanging lights is to distribute them evenly. Also, for the best look, ensure the lights are pushed slightly toward the tree’s trunk (you don’t want them all on the outermost parts of the branches). This gives the lights a charming, in-depth look.
Step one: Preparation
Then, lay out all of your supplies and decorations as organized as possible. This way, you know exactly what you’re working with. (I like to make individual sections for ribbons, stems, and ornaments.) If you’re really in the mood, organize your supplies by size and color.
For the topper, use ribbons to make a large bow, or place your ready-made tree topper at the top of your tree using floral wire.

When applying your ribbons, always start at the top of your tree & work your way down the tree (vertically), attaching ribbons to stems using floral wire.
Step 3: Ribbon
Once you’ve got your topper and ribbon up, spread the stems throughout the tree in an even fashion, using lots of stems at the top to make your tree-topper pop and the top of the tree your most decorated area.
Step 4: Branches
Starting with your largest ornaments, place your decorations throughout the tree. With the larger ones, you’ll mainly focus on the center and bottom of the tree. Work through ornaments by size (your smallest decorations will be placed last).
Step 5: Ornaments
Space them evenly, as it pertains to color, but the smallest ornaments should focus mainly on the tree’s top.
