How to decorate a Christmas tree, step-by-step

Do you want to decorate a Christmas tree easily and achieve a beautiful, balanced look?
With our 5-step plan, you can too!

Before we begin

First things first

Set the festive mood with your favourite playlist and a mug of hot chocolate topped with marshmallows. Or, for the grown-ups, a glass of mulled wine. Now you’re ready to get decorating!

Let's begin

Step 1

Got your Christmas tree? Let’s get started!
Set it up and add the lights.
Spread the lights as evenly as you can, but don’t worry about getting them perfect.
A few dangling wires or lights clustered together? We’ll hide those with decorations later!

Step 2

Start with the largest baubles
Work your way down to the smallest, leaving the decorative finishing touches until later.

Keep going...

Step 3

Use large decorations to fill bigger gaps between the branches.
Fill smaller gaps with smaller decorations.
Add any of your own decorations that hold special memories, and give them pride of place on your tree.
