No matter how old we may get, there can be nothing more gleeful and enjoyable than decorating a gorgeous tree each Christmas season. It is the most fulfilling, hopeful and beautiful experience for every family, isn’t it?

But often we get so mesmerized by the process that we tend to overdo or under decorate the tree. The fact is that the right number of ornaments can make a whole lot of difference to the character, style and personality of your tree.

You will find many interior designers teaching us how they place tabletop decorations onto the branches of the trees as a fabulous technique. While it’s great to let your imagination run free, it is also best to learn correct placement and correct number of ornaments for your tree type.

The Correct Number of Ornaments

Most of us are pros in setting up a Christmas tree, whether real or artificial. But not all of us are experts at judging how many ornaments would suffice. To judge this accurately, you must first note the size of your tree. Also remember that there isn’t really accurate figure for ornaments: you have to rely on your eyes to tell you whether a tree looks loaded, underdone or just perfect.

You also must note the size of the ornaments you have, when judging how many are enough. The fact is that the amounts of ornaments that are appropriate for a tree depend on the width and height of the tree, on the size of ornaments and on the preference and style.

Here is a simple guide that will help you judge whether or not you have put enough ornaments on your tree:

• For a tree that is nine feet tall or even taller, we believe adding fifteen to twenty ornaments per foot are more than enough.
• For a tree that is less than nine feet, you must not let the ornaments exceed beyond ten to fifteen. Also ensure that they are standard sized ornaments.

Another great technique for balancing the character, depth and visual appeal of your tree with ornaments is to vary their sizes. Also do not cluster all of your ornaments in select portions of the tree because that looks truly awful.

The best way of decorating with ornaments is to spread them across the entire tree area. As an estimate, let us show you the sizes of ornaments that expert decorators used for a tree that was 12’ tall.

• They used eighteen finial of 5 to 8’ size
• They used eighteen finial of 4 to 7’ size
• They used thirty-six round ornaments of size 6’
• They used forty-eight round ornaments of size 4.75’
• They used forty-eight round ornaments of size 4’
• They used forty-eight round ornaments of size 3’

The Best Way to Hang Your Ornaments

The right approach for hanging your ornaments have greatly impact the final effect. You should start hanging your very precious ornaments first. They’re the ones you want visitors to notice first when they look at your tree.

Then hang the larger ornaments next and ensure there is even spacing in between. Next, run a keen eye when you’re in the process of decorating. Try to note which spaces you need to fill in with medium or smaller ornaments to balance the density.

To help you out this season, here are some awesome ideas on how to make any gift, Christmassy.

Over time, experiences teach a lot of people that if one is not careful while removing the flocking, the branches of the Christmas tree has a high tendency to break and fall off. Also, when one is not careful, it could damage the tree, and the various decorations fixed on it.

To avoid these unpleasant possibilities, different methods now make it safe to remove the flocking from your flocked Christmas trees without breaking the branches. Follow this step-by-step guide to do this task successfully.

• At first, consider removing all decoration from the Christmas tree and sorting them in different boxes according to types and sizes. 
• Remember to store them in a box that has soft foam or feathers so it could be dry and so that it can last longer. 
• Remove all electrical appliances on the Christmas tree, including the Christmas lights. This is done to avoid damages of the electrical appliances and also to avoid broken decorations.
• You can wait for the Christmas tree flocking to dry. It will be like white dust falling off the tree. 
• To help the Christmas tree flocking flake off faster, you can shake the tree a bit, and all of it will land on the floor. 
• From there, it is easy to clean up with a broom or a vacuum, and it will stay reasonably neat.

Another fast and safe way is to brush off as much as you can carefully with your hands or with a very soft and big hairbrush. Then you dampen a cloth with acetone nail polish remover.

 Firstly, rub the fabric over a tiny hidden branch to look for any adverse reaction. If found to be safe to use on the flocked Christmas tree, rub the cloth over all the branches to dissolve the remaining flocking.

It is getting to be about that time of year when people start to consider what they are going to do to decorate for the holidays. One of the best trends that have been around for years, actually since the mid-1800s, is using glass ornaments on trees. Glass ornaments are becoming more popular now as people realize just how much detail these little ornaments can give their tree.

They are Built to Last

Glass ornaments are not something that you purchase one year and then toss the next. These ornaments are built to last. It is not uncommon to find glass ornaments that were made in the early 1900’s today! That just shows how built to last they are, when they are taken care of. 

They do Require Care

Since these are ornaments that are made from glass, they are not going to be something that you simply throw into a box and wait to use the next year. They do have to be packaged with care in order to be stored properly. This means:

• Wrapping each individual ornaments
• Placing these into a box that will not allow the ornaments to touch 
• Ensuring that adequate staffing is in the box to prevent shifting

Also, you have to worry about where you are storing these as condensation is known to ruin these ornaments, resulting in paint peeling and other issues. 

Hang with Care

When hanging these glass ornaments on your tree, you are going to want to do this with care. These should never be hung on the tips of the branches. If you do this, you are going to risk them falling. Instead, be sure that they are hanging at least mid-way on the branch and on a strong branch that can support the weight. This will help to prevent any accidents from these ornaments falling and hitting the floor. 

They are Gorgeous

One of the main reasons that so many people are considering glass ornaments is that they are simply gorgeous. They have detail and reflect the light in a way that the plastic ornaments simply cannot compete with.  They bring sophistication to many decor themes, which is what many people are trying to create.

For those who are still on the fence about glass ornaments, they will find that these are gorgeous and they cannot go wrong with them. While they may need a bit more care, this will pay off in the long run!
