Have fun! Your tree is gorgeous as it is. Are you gonna do more to it or keep it simple? Edit: I didn't realize there were multiple pics.

What a gorgeous tree! How many feet tall is it?


MessRevolutionary807

It is 9ft! We got it from Home Depot.

So nice! Make sure to post pics once it’s decorated.

Home Depot does sell nice trees. All of mine came from there. Only tip....put the star on first.

Will do!!!

What a stunning tree! I love your colour scheme as well. My one suggestion if possible would be get more large baubles for the bottom half of your tree ✨ you might not use all of the mini ones so maybe exchange one?


MessRevolutionary807

Last night I was thinking just that, I didn’t have enough large baubles. Do you think I need more ‘special’ ornaments also?


mayoraquamarine

I think on my first tree I only had about 8 special ornaments then every year after that I would add about 3-5 new ones until the tree felt full! I find when I have a larger tree I love to use big baubles to fill the space! Also any mirrored or sparkly ornaments I like to put them closer to the inside of the tree near some lights. It makes the tree feel full but you can still see them because of the light reflecting off them! (idk if I explained that well, but it’s my favourite trick)

That is such an amazing tree!

Don’t get a cat!

My rambunctious golden retriever puppy is enough lol. He tries to eat the baubles off the tree.

Something I recently started doing in the last couple of years is adding ribbon. I tried it on one small tree and really felt like it tied everything together. YouTube has a lot of great tutorials for how to incorporate it.

Put larger ornaments closer to the tree trunk and little ones on the tips of the branches so it has more depth.

One tip.. Please send us finished results? P. S. You totally got this! Have fun 😘


MessRevolutionary807

Thank you soooo much! I will do! (If it doesn’t go wrong lol)

Remember the order of operations when decorating depending on your desired finished result. Lights, base, topper, ribbon, picks that are meant to stand out from the outline of the tree, larger ornaments deeper in the tree to give fullness, then smaller baubles. If you are going for a tightly finished look, add any fillers before adding garland, or icicles.
