How to hang a garland beautifully on a Christmas tree

Choosing a garland for decoration

Among the LEDs, one can distinguish:

1. Filamentous, which are the most used, which, in turn, can be in the form of a single filament with the processes of LEDs located on it, or formed into a mesh, fringe or curtain.
2. Flexible transparent cords with LEDs inside, used to decorate building facades and decorative compositions on the street, as they are protected from moisture.
3. LED strips, used not only as decorative elements for interior decoration, but also for the implementation of the lighting function of the room.

Manufacturers of Christmas tree decorations recommend calculating the length of the chain with lights at the rate of 500 light bulbs (the number of which is indicated on the package) for a 2-meter Christmas tree, adding 100 light bulbs for each subsequent 30 centimeters of tree height.

Attention! When calculating, it should be borne in mind that the length of the wire without bulbs also enters the length indicated on the package.

How to hang a garland beautifully on a Christmas tree

1. The garland is hung on an installed Christmas tree in an upright position. If you plan to stand a tree in a corner or against a wall, you should immediately think about which side will look more advantageous.

Tips for decorating a Christmas tree with a garland

1. Try to highlight the trunk of the tree, this will create an aura of mystery, only in this case flickering garlands will not work.
2. When the spruce is located in the center of the room, it is worthwhile to apply the decoration method in a circle, starting with the top of the tree, if the New Year’s beauty is moved to the wall, it would be advisable to arrange the string of light bulbs in the form of a zigzag, imagining the triangle and trying to evenly fill this triangle.
3. If there is a sufficiently long thin filamentous garland with monochrome bulbs, you can try to wrap each branch of the Christmas tree. With this design, it is worth starting from the bottom of the tree, moving in a circle to the top of the head. If one chain has ended, a socket is provided at the end of the thread to extend the garland. But! Do not use more than three daisies in one chain, so as not to lower the short circuit or fire.

So that the holiday does not become a tragedy, you must follow the safety rules when using electrical appliances. It is worth refusing to purchase a traditional jewelry with a power of more than 65 watts and with an unreliable plug; it is necessary to correlate the length of the decoration with the height of the Christmas tree (see above), while the length of the cord without bulbs should be at least one and a half meters; Before use, it is worth checking whether the bulbs hold tightly, and whether there is damage on the wire; Do not overload the power system with a large number of chains.
