The Cheapest Flocked Christmas Trees

Cheapest flocked Christmas treeIt’s a sure thing that everything you put in your house needs to be to your liking. After all, the house is about you and you need to feel the most comfortable at home 🙂

This goes for the Christmas tree also and finding the right tree for you it’s not that difficult, if you put a little effort into it.

Whether you go with a natural or artificial tree, you should pick that one that’s more special for you. It doesn’t have to have the perfect height, because for instance you can fit a 9 ft tree in a 9 ft or shorter room – simply fold the last strand on the top and…there you go! Your 9 ft Christmas tree just became a 8.5 ft tree 🙂

Setting up your Christmas tree shouldn’t be that tricky, especially if you follow the instructions provided in the box by the manufacturer. Most artificial trees come with a stand and once you assembled the tree you only need to „fluff it”. You’d want to shape the branches and limbs- if necessary. Of course, if your Christmas tree is natural… you don’t have to do anything. Just put it in a stand 🙂

For the lights of your Christmas tree you can either buy a pre-lit Christmas tree (for the obvious reasons) or you can use strings of lights instead. You need to test the lights and simply join the strings together and plug them in. You can replace the burn out bulbs and check for any other damages- if it’s the case. Once the Christmas lights are workings, connect them together and begin decorate your tree from the top down. Leave the socket end of the lights at the top of the tree for the tree top.

As for the number of lights, some like their Christmas very bright and use sets of up to 3100 lights per tree foot. You can even mix and match the lights and you may go creative if you want! It’s better to place the lights „inside” your tree (halfway from the tips of the branches to the trunk of the tree) but also around the perimeter of the tree.

An important piece of the Christmas tree is the tree topper. Find one that captures best the spirit of Christmas. Place the tree topper right on the top. The socket end of the lights has to be plugged in if the tree topper is electric, so make sure to draw one beforehand.

If you decide to use a garland in your tree, start at the top and work your way down in a spiraling way….round and round until you get to the bottom of it. To determine the length of the garland, some say that a rule of thumb is at least 9 feet of garland per each foot of the tree. If you want to be safe, buy more- you can use the extra for wreaths or mantle.

For a nicer look, swag the garland deeply into the tree if the tree is large. You may place the garland vertically, adding some twists and turns, wiring to branches if needed. This goes mostly for ribbons.

Treat your Christmas tree with a beaded garland- you may use it as tinsel to drape over the branches. The beads won’t fall off the string if you cut the garland. You can cut the garland at various lengths for a more sophisticated look – play while decorating if the garland is flexible and easy to fold over the branches.

Start with the most important ornaments. Hang the largest ones, leaving even spaces between them. Fill in the spaces with medium and small sized ornaments to balance out the look of your tree. If you place the decorations deeper into the tree, you give it more depth. Don’t forget about the bottom of your tree either. Use various decorations as they are giving your tree the unique look- just like your house has its own 🙂

Complete the look of your tree with a tree skirt.

If you go for a flocked tree, the same tips for decorating it apply and the most important one is that…it’s your tree and you should decorate it as it pleases you 🙂
