• For every 2 feet of your Christmas tree, use roughly 100 bulbs. Therefore, 300 bulbs would be required for a 6-feet tree. Start wrapping the lights around the trunk of your Christmas tree at the plug and work your way up, starting in the middle of the base. From the center of the crown weave the lights upward while continuing to equally wrap them around the branches closest to the trunk. Start weaving the lights back down as soon as you reach the top.

• Tree picks or flower sprays are ornamented branches of twigs, berries, beautiful balls, or leaves that you can place into vacant spots if your tree is sparse and you want to add fullness. Sprays are a subdued accent that give your Christmas tree dimension as well as a pop of color and texture. They make wonderful additions to wreaths and garlands if you purchase too many.
