Order of decoration

1. First attach the chain of lights – from top to bottom.
2. In the second step the Christmas tree balls are hung on the branches. Hang the big balls downwards and the small balls upwards.
3. Next, pendants, ribbons, bows, berries, etc. are evenly distributed in the tree. Heavy parts should be hung on the strong branches so that the tree ornaments don‘t overstrain the branches.
4. Hang tinsel and garlands in the tree from top to bottom.
5. Now the finial is attached. Possibly the tree top must be cut something for this. Optionally also a bow or a star can be fastened as crowning conclusion.
6. Attach wireless lights and real candles incl. candle holder as last. With real candles make sure that no tree decoration hangs directly over it.

Have fun decorating your Christmas tree!
