Christmas tree decorating tips

Wreath-making supplies: pine boughs, ribbon, pinecones and twine

Lights go on first, and more of them than you think — weave them deep into the branches, not just around the tips, so the glow comes from inside the tree rather than sitting on the surface.

Hang the biggest, heaviest ornaments low and toward the trunk for stability, then work outward and upward with progressively smaller and lighter pieces. Spread your favorite ornaments evenly around the whole tree rather than clustering them in one spot.

Finish with garland or ribbon woven vertically, not just wrapped in horizontal rings — it reads as fuller and less like a candy cane stripe.
