Top Ornaments for Your Tree

Holiday Lights Backdrop in Purple Color Grading. Christmas Lights Background.

It is human nature to enjoy the art of expressing yourself. Christmas is a wonderful opportunity to do just that. It is the time of year we spread joy by opening our homes and spending quality time with family and friends. Wouldn’t you like to display a tree that symbolizes all that you love? 

The art of hanging ornaments on Christmas trees is a tradition that dates back to 16th century Germany. Back then, families created paradise trees, or evergreens adorned with items such as apples. Colored roses were used in the 17th century, and candles in the 18th. In 1847, glass ornaments began to become very popular, and ever since ornaments have been integral to the image of Christmas trees. 

If you’re searching for the perfect ornaments for your artificial Christmas tree, we’ve got you covered.

Since the base color of your tree will be green and not reflective, you will want to choose decorations that will add pops of color and shine. Gold and silver are classic ornament colors, as are red, blue, and yellow.

HOW TO REMOVE CHRISTMAS TREE FLOCKING

Over time, experiences teach a lot of people that if one is not careful while removing the flocking, the branches of the Christmas tree has a high tendency to break and fall off. Also, when one is not careful, it could damage the tree, and the various decorations fixed on it.

To avoid these unpleasant possibilities, different methods now make it safe to remove the flocking from your flocked Christmas trees without breaking the branches. Follow this step-by-step guide to do this task successfully.

  • At first, consider removing all decoration from the Christmas tree and sorting them in different boxes according to types and sizes. 
  • Remember to store them in a box that has soft foam or feathers so it could be dry and so that it can last longer. 
  • Remove all electrical appliances on the Christmas tree, including the Christmas lights. This is done to avoid damages of the electrical appliances and also to avoid broken decorations.
  • You can wait for the Christmas tree flocking to dry. It will be like white dust falling off the tree. 
  • To help the Christmas tree flocking flake off faster, you can shake the tree a bit, and all of it will land on the floor. 
  • From there, it is easy to clean up with a broom or a vacuum, and it will stay reasonably neat.

Another fast and safe way is to brush off as much as you can carefully with your hands or with a very soft and big hairbrush. Then you dampen a cloth with acetone nail polish remover.

 Firstly, rub the fabric over a tiny hidden branch to look for any adverse reaction. If found to be safe to use on the flocked Christmas tree, rub the cloth over all the branches to dissolve the remaining flocking.

Best Ways to Store Your Artificial Christmas Tree

It’s that time of year again. Christmas is over and now it’s time to put away all of the holiday decorations, including your Christmas tree. You might be dreading packing away your Christmas tree and be tempted to leave it up until February. Depending on the tree, disassembling your artificial Christmas tree should be an easy feat. The real question is, where should you store it once it’s disassembled? 

Remove All Ornaments

If you want all your ornaments to remain intact, be sure to put them away and store them properly before you start to disassemble your tree. Wrap any delicate Christmas ornaments in a towel or use napkins and a shoebox for safekeeping. 

Remove the Lights

If your Christmas tree is not prelit – make sure you detangle any string lights and remove them. Unplug and stretch out each strand to make sure the wires are straight. You can then start wrapping the lights around a napkin tube or empty Christmas wrapping paper roll. This is a great way to keep them from getting damaged or tangled. 

If your tree is prelit, this is the time to check for any burned out bulbs. Start at the top of the tree and make your way down to the bottom. Carefully remove the burned-out bulbs. You can replace them now, or at the beginning of the next holiday season. 

Disassemble Your Tree

Now is the time to disassemble your tree. Many artificial Christmas trees will be easy to take apart as they only come in 2-3 pieces. Take out the sections starting from the top and place them on the ground one by one. If your tree is lit with removable plugs, make sure to find the plugs and remove them first before removing the tree sections. 

Once your sections are on the floor, you can now compact the branches together. Be careful of the lights and cords and don’t force sections to bend the wrong way. 

Store the Tree

Some trees will arrive in a box or a storage bag. The original packaging could be used for storage but cardboard could be inviting to mold or mice. It’s better to store your tree in a canvas bag or large storage container. 

Keep your tree somewhere dry and clean. Try to place it in an area where it won’t get knocked over and can be placed horizontally out of the way.
