Shaan-HolidaysEmbrace the Festive Spirit with DIY Christmas Trees
The holidays are a time of cheer and family fun, and decorating the home is a key part of setting the festive mood. Whether it’s hanging lights, wreaths, or garland, sprucing up the home with holiday decorations is a popular tradition that many people enjoy. Some families prefer to buy and use an artificial flocked Christmas tree to save money, storage space and hassle – but just because you’re using an artificial tree doesn’t mean you have to miss out on all the fun of decorating your own tree! There are plenty of creative ideas for sprucing up even the most basic polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tree to make it look just as beautiful as a real one.
Classic Decor that Never Goes Out of Style
First off, when buying an artificial Christmas Tree you need to do your research. Real trees can come in different types such as pine, fir or spruce – but artificial trees don’t usually feature these varieties. Instead, there are several types of artificial trees made from PVC or other plastic materials that may not give off that same realistic look as a real tree. When shopping for an artificial tree consider its size – six-foot trees are average while some folks choose larger heights – as well as features like pre-lit versions and easy assembly options.
Once you’ve found a great quality artificial tree it’s time to get creative with your decorations! Glass ornaments make lovely additions to any type of tree, so go ahead and add some color with hand-blown glass balls in reds, greens, blues and more! You can also create DIY decorations such as popcorn strings on string or felt animals for kids (and adults!) alike to enjoy putting on the branches. A great way to keep things neat is by having individual containers for each type of decoration so everything remains organized during Christmas Time preparation.
Alternative Christmas Trees
Next consider how you want your lights arranged on the tree; do you want them sparkly white? Warm tones? Multi-coloured strands? Choose wisely because once they’re hung onto the branches it may be harder than expected to move them around until they look just right! Lastly don’t forget about tinsel or fake snow for added texture – adding a bit of sparkle here and there will really help bring your entire creation alive!
When it comes down to it anyone can make their own festive holiday treescape with creativity and patience. With proper care an artificial Christmas Tree can last many seasons without losing its shape or needing extra maintenance – perfect if you aren’t one who looks forward to going out into cold temperatures every year searching for ‘the perfect real tree’! Make sure to shop smartly – ask questions about warranties before making any purchases – and have fun creating something unique this holiday season with your man-made evergreen pal!
