How to choose a Christmas tree and where to place it?
The most popular holiday tree options are spruce or pine. Their size should be related to the height of the room.
Usually choose a Christmas tree with a height of no more than 1.5 meters. It is desirable that its branches are lush and symmetrical, and the trunk is even.
For this evergreen beauty, you also need to choose a suitable place in the house. It is worth considering that you do not need to put it in hot places (for example, near a radiator or fireplace), otherwise the needles on it will quickly dry out and lose their color. For the Christmas tree, a bright and well-ventilated room with a moderate temperature is ideal. You can also place it near the window.
Natural pine needles contain specific oils that can cause an allergic reaction in some people. If there is a newborn in the house, then it is better to give preference to an artificial Christmas tree.
How can you decorate a Christmas tree?
The magic of transforming a Christmas tree, of course, begins with the choice of toys and other decorations. Their diversity today is simply huge and is limited only by imagination: sparkling garlands, original toys, traditional tinsel, sweets, bows of various sizes and colors, and other equally spectacular decorations.
You can decorate the Christmas tree with various decorations:
- Toys. To decorate the Christmas tree, you can choose at least two of their options: factory-made and home-made. If you want to decorate a Christmas tree in a classic style, you will need glass one- or multi-colored balls, lanterns and icicles, and for the top - a traditional bright garland. Retro lovers can decorate the Christmas tree in vintage style using old USSR toys, paper garlands, postcards and wooden decorations (for example, in the form of an old wall clock), and decorate the top of the Christmas tree with a star. Adherents of more original styles in the design of the New Year's interior will suit home-made toys made of fabric, paper, plastic, salt dough, cotton wool and other materials.
- Fairy lights. A luxurious New Year's holiday begins with bright lighting, so garlands are considered an important attribute of any Christmas tree. They don't have to be multi-colored. You can choose a garland with lanterns of the same color (for example, the popular blue or white).
- Bows. The tradition of hanging lush red bows on the Christmas tree came to us from Europe. Their traditional types, i.e. ordinary single bows. However, you can decorate the Christmas tree with their other options: for example, with beautiful double bows (their weaving technology is shown in the video) or large gift bows (see photo instructions below). The choice of their color will depend on the overall color scheme of the festive interior.
- In the gallery, see the photo of the step-by-step production of a large bow on the top of the Christmas tree. With the help of dry twigs and stars, you can create a whole composition.
Multi-colored garlands look good in combination with many toys. Solid colors can be used for a minimalist modern Christmas tree decoration.
It is very important, when choosing these elements of New Year's decor, to think about whether they will be combined with each other in style, color or shape. At the same time, it is not necessary to use absolutely all the available jewelry options - it is better to stick to a sense of proportion, the chosen style and your own preferences.
