Tree Decorating Basics
Cover the Floor
It is always a good idea to cover the floor (no matter if
hardwood, natural stone or carpet) with a large piece of plastic
in order to protect it from scratches and stains. If you don't use
a tree skirt, cover the plastic with a subtle colored piece of
fabric.
Keep your tree Fresh
Keep the water reservoir in your tree stand full, especially
during the tree's first days and week indoors. Most trees with a
fresh cut (which will induce water absorption) will drink many
quarts of water in the first few hours, so check the water level
in your tree stand several times a day for about a week, and less
frequently thereafter.
Decorating
Start Decorating in the following order: Lights, Garlands,
Ornaments. Assemble all boxes together before starting the
decorating process.
Ornaments
Mix some special ornaments along with the generic ones. Special
ornaments like birdhouses, angels, special handcrafted ornaments
should be mixed with the regular baubles.
Perfect Time
The perfect time to decorate a tree is in the Evening. It will
bring out the entire magic of the twinkling lights and sparkling
ornaments.
