Real trees are wonderful; knowing how to care for them is the tricky part.
Do you want to get rid of those tree needles all over your house? Or are you tired of being stung by sticky tree sap? Then you should consider purchasing a pre-lit tree this year!
The transition from a traditional live tree to a fake tree can be quite challenging for some people. But it doesn’t have to be so.
We’ve compiled a list of 5 hacks that make your pre-lit Christmas trees look more realistic. Drink up.
1. Buy a full tree
The pre-lit tree market has a wide range of trees in different shapes and sizes. While some trees use quality materials that look like real leaves, others do not. If you want your fake tree to look real, then you must purchase full trees with excellent details.
2. Puff it to the hilt
Three different sections of an artificial tree are typically provided in a box. If you want the tree to look very natural, spend a good deal of time fluffing it. Ensure that the branches are evenly spread and that there are no spaces between them. This would make it look quite authentic.
3. Go heavy!
Consider going heavy on your decorations to conceal your fake tree. Garnish with baubles, garlands, ribbons, and ornaments. You can also add some more light if you desire.
4. Tree skirts are always a good idea
The easiest way for people to tell whether a tree is fake is if your plastic stand is exposed. If you’d like, you can dress it up with a festive tree skirt or basket.
5. Give it a little life…
Bring some life to your fake tree by decorating it with real greenery. Put a green sprig on the branches of your pre-lit tree. A few flowers would also make a difference.
