Best Way to Hang Ornaments on a Christmas Tree

Your Christmas tree is personal to you and your family. So, you should hang ornaments in a way that suits your tastes. However, here are some tips which will make decorating any Christmas tree easier.

• Keep valuable or sentimental ornaments near the top of the tree so they’re not broken by pets or small children.
• Hang the heaviest or largest ornaments low on the tree. Place them on thicker branches so they’re stable.
• Light ornaments can go near the end of branches. Keep the hanging ribbon short so the ornaments don’t fall off if someone jostles the tree.
• Space out ornaments evenly around the tree for a balanced look. Step back every now and again as you go to ensure you’re happy with the aesthetic.
