ChristmasTime Media Tips and Advice

Decorating your Christmas Tree

Choose your colour scheme carefully. We generally pick 3 colours for our themes, which includes an accent colour.

Hang baubles according to size, with the largest at the bottom, mixing colours as you go. Hang droplet baubles at the ends of branches, while fragile and more treasured ones should go at the top.

And instead of tinsel this Christmas, why not use ribbon or bead garland in one of your chosen colours to enhance your tree?

Positioning your Fairy Lights

Positioning your Fairy Lights

Positioning your fairy lights on your Christmas tree can be tricky, so to help you out here are our top tips.

• Always check them prior to placing them on the tree to ensure they work
• Look at your tree with the fairy lights switched on and off to make sure you are happy with their arrangement.
• As a rough guide, we recommend an average of 30 fairy lights per foot of tree.
• Once you are happy with your Fairy Lights don’t forget to tuck the cabling out of site.

Choosing your Christmas Tree

Choosing your Christmas tree!

Be it real or artificial, ensure your Christmas Tree of choice has full green foliage. For best results take your time to arrange the branches prior to decorating, then stand back to make sure you are happy with the shape of your tree prior to adding your fairy lights.
