How do you decorate a Christmas tree?

Definitely lights first lol :) Otherwise you'll have troubles. OK then do ribbons. Then ornaments. Then tinsel if you like. Whatever colors you like are fine. They even have diff color trees! Have fun :)

I set the tree up and make sure it is even and make adjustments. Then I put on the lights. Then the rope, then the beads, then the ornaments. The icicles go on next if you use them, the candy canes are always last because they are the first to come off!

When considering a theme to complement your home décor, consider lighting, colour combinations, textures, and the mixing and matching of various materials.

• Modern metals – a contemporary, glowing look that starts with metals such as warm coppers, antique iron, glittery gold, rustic brushed tin or shiny silverplate. Mix with matte or shiny glass balls and metallic stars. Glitzy ribbon garland completes the look.

• Dramatic velvets – Velvet touches in rich red, blue or black can begin with tree decorations and carry through to the tree skirt, stockings and table linens.

• Red is hot – Traditional red looks new this year, when put with silver accents. Start with silver-beaded snowflakes, add aluminum and wire figures and deck with silvery garlands to complement rich red ornaments.

• Exotic ornamentation – Think beading, embroidery, Indian silks and jacquards. Add touches of elegance with jewel-tone glass ornaments trimmed with gold flourishes, beaded stars and snowflakes, sequined balls and beaded tassels such as those available at Canadian Tire.Instead of tinsel, try using beaded garland.
