If for you, decorating the tree is an arduous task, we give you some useful tips both in imagination and in speed. Take note!.
Tips that will help you decorate your Christmas tree
1. Planning
Remember that before you think about decorating the house quickly for Christmas, prior planning is vital. What decorate? Do we have the necessary complements and ornaments? What do we buy? We opted for a natural or other artificial tree ?.
Once everything is organized it will be easier to know how to decorate the tree. We will continue to look at what we have from last year, go buy and / or create it ourselves.
2. Recycle and embellishments at home
Not everything is buying at Christmas. In order to save and be able to recycle, we will first look at what adornments we have from previous years and we will also carry out crafts with materials that we have at home.
It is a way of being original, because surely there will not be a tree like ours. And, on the other hand, if there are small children at home is another way to entertain them and make them have fun creating their own balls and hanging them on the tree.
3. Matter of colors
An extensive range of colors makes the tree look very ornate. Therefore, it is better to opt for two basic colors. One for the balls and one for the ornaments (red combined with green, red with lilac ...) and we will be attentive to the colors of the season to offer an aspect of modernity: gold, lilac, burgundy ... are the tones that are now more Fashion. We will create an absolute trend Christmas tree!
4. Christmas themed
Another way to decorate the Christmas tree is to follow the same theme. For example, we can focus on Santa Claus, with balls decorated with this figure, faces with a beard made of cotton ... this way it will be a very original and surprising Christmas tree.
But there are many themes that are not related to Christmas, from cooking to sport to flowers, everything depends on the imagination and tastes of each user.
5. What to do with the lights?
One of the first things to keep in mind when decorating the tree is the lights. The great part of these go with cables that must be plugged in and it is indispensable to have the space indicated for it. Lights that run on batteries will last less but are more effective because the tree can be placed anywhere in the house.
6. The way to place the ornaments
There are many ways to place them. But one of the most effective is to start from the top down. Thus we see the gaps that we lack and we will follow an order. The issue is not to get lost and not be longer than necessary. Remember there are many more things to do at Christmas! In the end, yes, we will place the star in everything high.
As for this element, there are also many options, it is always better that if we already have lights around the tree, the star does not need to be illuminated, but it must stand out in a different color or in a silver filled with glitter. It can also be larger than the rest of the tree elements.
7. The gifts under the tree
It is already a tradition to put gifts under the tree, if this one is especially big, but maybe they do not fit you and it will not be aesthetically good. In the case that it is large, we will place the gifts inside small boxes of different sizes and colors. Stop recycling, we can also use shoe boxes and customize them at our whim.
They will be personalized boxes for each member of the family. In this way, we created a very beautiful Christmas corner, and sometimes, with this, you do not need to decorate practically anything else in the house. Remember that less is more. A house replete with thousands of Christmas elements does not make much sense. ThemesChristmas
