Prelit Christmas trees can be decorated from the top or from the bottom. A horizontal lighting method can be used to weave the lights over each branch. Interlacing the strands up and down in an S pattern is also possible using the vertical technique. In addition to adding lights to a prelit Christmas tree, if necessary, it is important to consider the type of tree topper to use. Depending on the theme and style of your tree, here are some of the most popular tree topper options. Nevertheless, no matter what you do, don’t be afraid to explore all other options.
Illuminating Your Tree: The Best Toppers for Your Prelit Christmas Tree
- A star
- An angel
- A ribbon bow
- Imitation holly leaves and berries
- A large snowflake
- Coordinating floral picks with your theme
- A combination of the above
If you are using a ribbon bow tree topper, the bow should cover the very top of the tree. This will avoid the topper from appearing to be floating above the tree, and instead make it appear to be a part of it. To add picks around the top of a tree that is 6.5′ or taller, come down about 8″ from the top, whereas if the tree is less than 6′ tall, come down about 6″. First, place long spiky sticks around the tree at an upward angle, followed by full and short picks a few inches away from the top of the tree.
When decorating a pre lit Christmas tree, place ornaments so they are evenly distributed and uniform in style as needed by stepping back as often as necessary. Make sure your decorated tree is in balance! In your tree, you should use ornaments and decorations in a way to make the texture and colors seem random. Avoid overusing one color or decoration over the others.
