the tricks of the art. There are various ways by which you can
decorate it. So here are some tips on giving a beautiful look to
your tree. Now to give a define look to your tree you can use string
to divide the bigger tree into six and smaller into four sections.
Once the equal divisions are made its up to you the kind of look you
want to give to your tree. You can use your creativity while
decorating it. The decorations can be color or style theme based. If
you want to use a particular color for your tree you can use
different kind of artifacts of that color like silver or golden
color ribbons, decorative items in those colors, pine cones. To make
stars your theme you can use stars of different shape, size and
color.

decorations they are lights, ornaments, flowers, stars, and garland
of chocolates, cookies, flowers, dolls or any such thing which you
think will give that extra look to your Christmas tree decorations.
Lights are an essential part of the decorations sine a lighted
Christmas tree looks the best. Some of the artificial trees come
complete with the sockets and wires but if you are using the real
one than wiring needs to be done. For decorating the tree you should
go for smaller bulbs instead huge bulbs. Use strands of multicolored
lights. Start your lighting from the top and then move downwards.
Use green wires to make the strings less visible. The lighting
should be evenly distributed throughout the tree. Once the lighting
is over than comes the turn of decoration for that you can use
garland. Instead of buying it from the market you can make it at
home. It can be of anything depending on your imagination. The
easiest way to wrap the garland is to do it in a spiral, staring
from the top. You can attach long ribbon streamers to the top of the
tree instead of the garland. Coming on the ornaments part you can
decorate your Christmas tree with a wide variety of things available
in the market. Items like small dolls, teddies, pinecones, stars,
balls, etc. To add a little more color, replace the string or wire
ornament-hanging loops with ribbon loops. Silk flowers gives a
bright touch to more formal trees and can be clipped on to the
branches. The white ones give a feel of snow while the red ones
brighten the tree. For an old fashioned look, get some clip on
candleholders and add small candles to your tree. Though these
candles should never be lighted for safety reasons, they give a
grand look to the tree. Use bits of cotton wool spread on the
treetops for a snowy effect.
