When you’re decorating your Christmas tree, it can be tempting to go for a full artificial one. However, if you’re looking for a more natural look and feel, a silk tree is the perfect choice.
Silk trees are made from real or synthetic silk material that’s been dyed green. They have a soft feel and look very realistic. While they can be used as an indoor or outdoor decoration, they’re especially popular for outdoor use because they won’t wilt in the heat or melt in the rain.
Silk trees come in many different styles, so you’ll definitely find one that fits your needs. Here are some tips on how to create a beautiful Christmas tree out of a full artificial one:
Materials needed:
- 1 full artificial Christmas tree
- 1 roll of wrapping paper or fabric
- 1 roll of ribbon
- 1 roll of tape
General tips
Choose the right size: A large tree will take up more space than a smaller one and may not fit in with your decorating scheme. However, if you have a large room or hall then go ahead and get a bigger tree! Just remember that they do take up space so make sure you’ve got enough room first.
Choose the right color: When choosing your artificial tree, it’s important that you get one that matches your decorating scheme. If your house has lots of green décor then perhaps choose an artificial tree with green branches. If it’s all red then opt for something red instead.
Decorate with care: When decorating your full artificial Christmas tree, make sure that you do so with care so that your decorations don’t look too cluttered or messy. You can use decorative balls and other ornaments in order to add some height and dimension to your artificial Christmas tree without making it look too crowded or busy. If needed, move some of your larger decorations down into the lower branches where they will be easier for people to see as well as easier for people who aren’t able to reach higher branches on their own (such as children).
Procedure
When you have a full artificial tree, it’s easy to create a beautiful Christmas tree. Here’s how:
- First, collect a bunch of branches from your yard or local park (you’ll need about 10-15). If you don’t have any branches on hand, you can buy them at any craft store.
- Arrange the branches in a circular pattern on top of a table or other flat surface, making sure they’re all facing inward toward the center point. You want an even number of branches so there are no gaps or holes in your design. If you have an odd number of branches, arrange them so that they crisscross each other into X shapes.
- Next, use glue or tape to secure all of the branches in place. You may need some help with this part because it’s pretty tricky getting everything positioned correctly! Once everything is glued down, add some decorations like bows, ribbon or garland for some extra flair.
