How to Decorate a Christmas Tree: Step-by-Step

Decorating the tree is a cherished holiday tradition. But if you have ever wondered, "What is the correct order to decorate your Christmas tree?" or "Do you put ribbon or ornaments on the tree first?", you are not alone. Following a simple step-by-step process keeps the decorating fun and ensures your tree looks beautifully balanced.

1. String the Lights First

If you choose an unlit tree, start with lights. Plan for about 100 lights per foot, so a 7-foot tree needs around 700. Plug the first strand into an extension cord so you can see as you work. Start near the trunk at the bottom, wrap lights out along each branch, then back in. Repeat around the tree, moving up row by row for a full, glowing look.

2. Add Garland or Ribbon

Add ribbon, tinsel, or beaded garland before ornaments to help protect delicate pieces. For a natural look, weave ribbon through the branches instead of wrapping it in tight circles. Tuck sections deep into the tree and let them fall in soft waves. Wired ribbon also works well for bows and loops that keep their shape.

3. Place Your Statement Decor

Before you hang your standard glass balls, place your largest, most visually striking items. This includes oversized ornaments, large pinecones, and floral picks like faux poinsettia blooms or frosted berries. Spread these statement pieces out evenly in a zigzag pattern from the top to the bottom of the tree so the eye dances around the greenery.

4. Hang Your Ornaments

Now it is time for the classic ornaments! A great trick to make your tree look professionally styled is to hang ornaments at different depths. Hang your larger, solid-colored ornaments deeper inside the tree to reflect the light and create a sense of fullness. Then, hang your smaller, highly detailed, or sentimental ornaments near the tips of the branches where they can be easily admired. Mix different finishes—shiny, matte, and glitter—to add wonderful texture.

5. Add the Perfect Tree Topper

The grand finale is the tree topper. Whether you prefer a shining star, a classic angel, a large handmade bow, or a playful top hat, make sure it sits securely on the top branch. If your topmost branch is flimsy, fold it in half to make it sturdier before placing your topper.
