So as you can see, a decorated Christmas tree is not easy beautiful decoration your home, but also to some extent a talisman.
Of course, our ancestors did not have all kinds of Christmas tree decorations, so they decorated the tree with nuts, fruits, cookies, candies, etc. You and I are luckier: we have garlands, tinsel, various toys at our disposal - if you wish, you can decorate the Christmas tree extraordinarily beautifully. But first things first, because among the many Christmas tree decorations you can easily get lost.
First of all, you need to buy a Christmas tree: it’s up to you to decide: some people like artificial trees, and some only like live ones. By the way, when considering artificial Christmas trees, you can buy a “snow-covered” Christmas tree, which you will not find among living ones. If you want to live Christmas tree in the snow, but you can’t find one anywhere, this is not a reason for frustration. After all, this matter is fixable: firstly, you can buy special artificial snow in the form of a spray in the store, or you can do it more economically and make artificial snow to decorate the Christmas tree with your own hands.

There are several ways to make artificial snow with your own hands:
- Spread the branches of the Christmas tree with glue and sprinkle with sugar or salt; in fact, this option is more suitable for decorating toys.
- Mix semolina, white paint and glue in equal proportions - you can change the proportions at your discretion.
- This method of making artificial snow for a Christmas tree is one of the best: you need to grate white soap and mix it with starch, poured with warm water. Add hot water and whisk for about 2 minutes until you get the consistency of shaving foam. The finished “snow” should be immediately applied to the branches of the Christmas tree directly with your hands. You can see the result in the photo below.
In general, no matter what green beauty you choose, you still need to place it conveniently in the house. As a rule, the best place to place a Christmas tree is considered to be a large window in the living room, but again it all depends on you and the layout of your apartment.
The next step is to think about how to decorate the bottom of the tree. You can use some beautiful basket, you can even weave it from newspaper tubes.
Or you can use a blanket, a blanket, or just a piece of some suitable fabric (it’s better to think in advance about how you want to decorate the tree and choose everything). The result will be a kind of imitation of a Christmas tree skirt. Of course, if time allows, you can work hard and sew a beautiful skirt for the Christmas tree. And about how to sew a skirt for a Christmas tree, read the article: “Skirt for a Christmas tree: how to make/sew a skirt for a Christmas tree with your own hands.”
In addition, you can beautifully wrap the Christmas tree stand with burlap and tie it beautifully with ribbon.
- You should start decorating the Christmas tree with a garland, and keep in mind that for every meter of height of the Christmas tree you need 150-200 garland lights (this is, of course, an average figure, plus how lush your Christmas tree is is also important).
- Then you can hang Christmas decorations: first the large ones (approximately at the same distance), then hang the medium and small ones - fill the gaps between the large ones.
- And remember that it is better to place the brightest and brightest colors in the foreground. beautiful toys, and in the depths you can hang less attractive ones.
- Finally, you can decorate the tree with tinsel, ribbons or a homemade non-electric garland, and the final touch is rain.
