Tips For Decorating an Artificial Christmas Tree A beautifully decorated artificial tree usually follows a particular color scheme and theme. All of your trim or Christmas tree decorations should coordinate with each other such as Christmas tree lights, top, Christmas tree ornaments, trim and tree skirt. Artificial Christmas Tree Assembly The first step would be to assemble your artificial Christmas tree. Follow the manufacturer instructions that are included inside the box. After the tree is assembled you will need to shape the branches or limbs. The rows should be even and spaces between each row of branches should be kept to a minimum. The branch tips should be curved according to the instructions of the tree so that the tree looks as natural as possible. The needles of the tree become crushed due to packing and shipping to fluff the needles so that they look lively and lush clasp each branch in your hand and run your hand against the grain and this will fluff up your branches. Over years of storage and use the braches will appear more crushed. To remedy this use the same method as above only holding a hot cloth in your hand as you run your hand over the branch. We offer thousand’s of artificial Christmas trees please visit us at Artificial Christmas Trees to view our complete line of artificial Christmas trees. Christmas Tree Lights The tree is assembled and your next step would be to add the lights. Many of the artificial Christmas trees on our site come prelit which means that the lights are already on the tree for you and all you need to do is assemble the tree and plug the lights in. If you purchase an unlit Christmas tree you will need to add the lights yourself. A good rule to thumb for the amount of lights needed based on the size of the tree is as follows: 4 to 5 feet add 200 to 500 miniature lights, 6 to 6.5 feet add 500 to 700 miniature lights, 7 to 7.5 feet 600 – 800 miniature lights, 8 feet to 9 feet 800 – 1200 miniature lights. To install lights on the tree first step is to test each strand by plugging them into an outlet to assure they work. If the do not then you will need make sure each bulb is securely inserted into the light socket as the light strand will not work if even one bulb is not secure in it’s place. To put the Christmas lights in place on your tree, run an extension cord from an electrical outlet to the center or the tree or trunk of the tree. Plug the first set of Christmas lights into the extension cord and run the lights to the top of the tree. Twist every other light around tip of a branch working from left to right on the branches, wrapping lights in a clockwise manner. Wrap the cord around each branch, placing lights as you work around and downward. Repeat with remaining light sets, always working them upward to the point where the last light set stopped, before wrapping. Continue from the inside of the tree branch to the outside and then back in again. Hide the light cords by winding them around the branches and nestling them in the needles. Do not hang light bulbs in mid-air between branches. Place lights near the ends of the branches, so that the lights outline the shape of the tree. If lights with reflectors are used, you can reduce the number of lights on a tree as reflector lights generally are both brighter and more decorative. For the greatest impact, always use the same style light set to cover the whole tree in the basic lighting. Decorative light sets or theme light sets should be added after the basic lights have been installed and should be evenly space around the tree or grouped in sets for focal points on the tree. It is important to always follow the instructions printed on the box of Christmas lights.

Swagging Christmas Garland: Start in the back of the tree with the bottom row of branches. Twist one piece of garland around a branch tip to secure it. Swag garland to center tip of next branch and continue around the tree. Use 12" to 20" swags, depending on the width of the tree. Let swag fall freely and naturally. Cut or break garland when you have reached your starting point, or swag up to the next layer on the back side of the tree. When using bead garland you may not be able to cut this at the starting point, as some garlands may come apart. You can either tuck the balance into the tree or go up to the next starting point for the next swag Start second row in same manner as first, making sure the peaks of the new row are centered over the valleys of the previous row. Swags should not touch the row below. Continue draping in same manner to top of tree, with smaller swags as you go up. The more uniform the swag, the more formal the look. To create double swags begin with two stands. Spiraling Ribbon for Garland: Anchor 4-6 strands of ribbon to top of tree. Separate the strands and spiral down around the tree, spacing evenly as you go down. Bottoms can be anchored or left spiraling to the floor Adding Christmas Tree Ornaments Attach Christmas tree ornament hooks to each ornament. Hang larger or more dominant ornaments on the lower part of the tree for balance. Shiny finishes should be hung on the tree before matte or soft finishes, bright colors before muted colors and larger sizes before smaller sizes. Ornaments look better if they hang suspended rather than touching branches. Distribute ornaments in an overall pattern. This can be evenly spaced on branch tips as focal points, evenly spaced in the tree to add dimension, irregularly spaced cluster and groups as focal points. We have an assortment of beautiful glass and resin or plastic Christmas tree ornaments in a variety of colors and finishes please visit us at: - Christmas Tree Ornaments The above steps should assist you in creating the Christmas tree that is perfect for your home or commercial business.

Christmas Lights Overview There are many types of Christmas lights for decorating your home and yard. We will discuss the types of Christmas lights and the differences between each. We will also review the most common uses, and the design strengths and weaknesses of the lights. Installing Christmas Lights Installing Lights •When installing your Christmas Lights, highlight the tree or shrub's natural grace and beauty. Work with the natural shape of growth and avoid straight lines and regular patterns •Use a ladder, stepladder or extension pole appropriate to the size of the trees you intend to decorate. DO NOT CLIMB THE BRANCHES, AND BE SURE TO HAVE SOMEONE HOLD THE LADDER FOR YOU. •Divide the tree or shrub into manageable parts. Begin at the top and work randomly downward, moving from the insideof the tree to the outside and back again, following the natural sweep of the branches. •Respect the tree you are decorating as a living thing and remember that frozen branches break easily when handled roughly. Power Availability and Sources •Before designing, locate the available power sources •Useful power sources can be found: Under eaves, in the Garage, near the Front Door, or near the Back Door. (Hint: Don't use outlets you have to reach with a ladder. They are generally turned on by a light switch which may accidentally be turned off. Also, if your lights do end up having a power problem, it is easier to check the fuse and beginning components while on ground than on an icy roof.)

Plug all lights into GFCI units •Consult an electrician to find out about local electrical codes * •(Total Watts)/(Volts) = Amps (always round up to whole number) * •Power Circuits Most houses have SHARED CIRCUITS - Meaning they have multiple plugs on one breaker! Dedicated circuits are a lot easier to work with (Hint: Check labels on breaker box and plug in multiple lights to test breakers to see if they are Dedicated or Shared. It is valuable to know this before installing) Each breaker has 15- 20 Amps to draw from Leave a 20% buffer on each breaker •Don't push them to their limits For safety use 13 amps as your basis •We recommend you use an electrician to analyze circuits Super Mini Lights •Keep track of how many you use on each tree. It is easy to forget or loose count. (Hint: Attach twist-ties or rubber bands to the ladder and count them when you're done.) •For larger trees use triple taps every 10' to break up power locations. Run extensions to them. •If tree goes out you can go directly to first triple tap. •Keep the lights in a bundle as you install. •Plug in the lights as you install to know if they go out during installation C7/C9 •7 Watt •C-9 are bigger bulb (still 7 watt) •12" spacing can run 100' •6" spacing can run 50' •Calculating Power Consumption = *Bulbs are 7 watts 12" spacing, *100' equals 6 Amps, *Can use only 100' of 12" spacing C7/C9 •C7/C9 are easy to calculate how much you have used (Just count bulbs (divide by 2 if useing 6" spacing) •Use 12" spacing on rooflines •Use 6" for pillars •Bulbs have 10% immediate burn-out rate, so plug in each bulb to test them before you install them •Dip the socket-end of the bulb into petroleum jelly to help prevent corrosion. It also makes it easier to remove the bulbs. Plugs Never separate wires when installing ends Extension Cords •16 Gauge cords handle 13 amps •14 Gauge cords handle 18 amps •Check power at end of extension cords if question about power availability •Extension Cords are rated for their distance •Grease/wax/electrical tape connections •Keep Connections off ground/out of gutters •Unwind extension cords to avoid overheating •Use extension cords long enough for the job. Never have tension on cords. For Large 40-50 Tall 10' Wide Tree WIRE •100' strands plus 20' lead •Use 4 (gives you 8 lines down around tree) = 24 amps •They have plugs on them. •Run two extension cords to them each from different breaker. Plug 2 in one and 2 in the other (most breakers are 15 or 20 Amps) C7 Bulbs C9 Bulbs •Village Lighting C9 have same base as C7 for simplicity. The C9 of most other brands have a different size base. •Clear is the most commonly used light bulb. •Order atleast 10% more bulbs than needed. •10% (no matter the brand) will burn out immediately when plugged in. •Install bulbs and plug in before putting on tree! (Due to burn-out rate) ACCESSORIES
