Christmas Decorating Basics
First things First – start with the tree
Real or Artificial? Or one of the new generation PE trees which provide an excellent impersonation of a real tree with none of the mess
Spot the real tree in this image:
Nope…they are all artificial!
Go as big as space allows but check the width
From slimline to full fat – both real and artificial can vary massively
We recommend a coverage of 50-75 LEDs per foot of the tree as a rough guide; more for a full effect and less for real trees with fewer branches. Get ‘into’ the tree with the lights – run them up and down the branches rather than hang off the edges like a garland
Next the decorations
We recommend a mid-range coverage of 10 baubles per foot of the tree and 5 co-ordinating trim items. The trim can be floristry picks, flowers, fauna, angels, top hats (!) photo frames….the possibility are endless
