Memo for adults "How to properly decorate a Christmas tree"
Fashion for decorative solutions, color combinations and toys comes and goes, but some principles remain unchanged.
1. CONDUCT A SMALL INVENTORY
A few days before decorating the tree, examine the contents of your Christmas decor boxes. Finding out what you are missing and making a list with which to go to the store will save you time. Examine toys from previous years - maybe they need light repairs, new glitter or fixing. If you have children, give them a party by making homemade Christmas toys.
2. CHOOSE AND INSTALL THE CORRECT NEW YEAR TREE
Do not place a large tree in a room that is too small. Do not place a living tree next to a radiator or other heat source. If you have children and animals, it is especially important to carefully secure the fir tree. Make sure its base is securely fastened. An additional method of fastening is to tie the top of the tree to the cornices and cabinets with several laces (arrange a stretch, then disguise them with garlands that will stretch under the ceiling. If your tree is too low, you can put it on a podium (or a table, after covering it with New Year's paper, By the way, this will create a place for you for elegant gifts, which will be more noticeable than on the floor. The Christmas tree, dressed up in a single color scheme, looks very elegant.
3. USE AN ELECTRIC HAIRLAND
Buy faceted light bulbs, not smooth ones - they have more glare. Take care of the safety rules: do not use homemade or cheap Asian crafts, so that there is no fire. For the same reason, do not decorate the tree with candles and sparklers. An exception is an electric garland with "candles". Before wrapping a tree with a garland, plug it into an outlet and check how it works - whether all the lights are on, whether the wiring is sparking. Do not use more than three garlands at once - they may not withstand traffic jams. The electric garland is hung on the tree before other toys - so it will not obscure them. It's good if you wrap a tree trunk with one garland, and place the other on the branches to illuminate the toys. It is more convenient to decorate the tree with the lights on - you will immediately see how evenly the garland lays down. Arrange the garlands in a spiral, not bottom to top.
4. PLAY THE TOYS IN THE CORRECT ORDER
The larger the tree, the larger the toys fit it. A small tree with huge balls will seem cumbersome. First, they hang large toys, then small ones. Start by hanging with large balls that set the main tone of the tree. After hanging up all the balls, rest for a while in another room. Then come back and take a fresh look - does everything look harmonious. Hang a different type of toy in the remaining spaces between the balls. Large toys are placed on the lower branches. As you climb higher, it is worth using smaller toys. It is better not to hang identical toys nearby.
5. FIX THE TOYS CORRECTLY
If you use ribbons, do not forget to tighten the knots properly. You can hang the balls on the tree with the help of threads or wire. A convenient and simple method is straightened paper clips. You can also look for special plastic hooks for Christmas tree toys - they are produced in green so that they are invisible. Toys tied with lush bows will look especially elegant. The best, most expensive and favorite toys are usually the most fragile ones. Do not hang them on weak, thin branches, close to the ends (especially if you have children and pets). Place them closer to the trunk.
6. DECORATE THE TOP
Traditional decorations are a spire or a star (it is a reminder of the Star of Bethlehem, which led the Magi to the manger of Jesus). You can also put an angel on top or even tie a bow.
7. USE HAND-HELD MATERIALS
Try decorating the tree with edible toys - tangerines, candy, nuts wrapped in gold foil. Teddy bears and any other toys will look good too. A wide shiny ribbon wrapped around a Christmas tree is a good and not very common decor.
8. THE LAST STROKE
Scatter beads, shiny tinsel, rain around the tree, sprinkle with frost spray, artificial snow, sprinkle with confetti, serpentine, sparkles - but only when it is fully dressed up. Be careful with the rain if you have cats - pets love to eat them and can die from it. If your tree is designed in a certain color scheme, wrap the gifts that will lie under it in paper of the same colors. Place Santa Claus with the Snow Maiden under the tree. If you are celebrating Christmas, Christmas sketches will come in handy. "Nativity scenes" where little dolls depict the Mother of God and other characters.

Every year we try to decorate the New Year tree in a special way different from the previous times. You can originally decorate a New Year's beauty in a variety of ways that you may already be familiar with, or, conversely, will find out for the first time.
When the tradition of decorating the Christmas tree began
Few know that the idea of decorating a Christmas tree on the eve of the New Year originated in Germany, when a German reformer decorated a tree in his home on Christmas Eve with candles symbolizing the Star of Bethlehem.
Of course, the custom did not appear among the masses immediately, but several centuries later, then many European countries adopted the tradition of decorating the Christmas tree from the Germans.
The tradition came to Russia with Emperor Peter the Great, but it became popular only in the 30s. XIX century, under Tsar Nicholas I. Initially, toys for decoration were quite expensive, so the New Year's beauty could only stand with wealthy gentlemen.
Where to put the tree
Before decorating, determine where you will place the tree. The location of the New Year's beauty primarily depends on the size of the room.
If you want to place a Christmas tree in a small room, consider whether it will interfere with your usual life. Perhaps it will be much more convenient to use spruce branches to decorate the room. They can be assembled into an original composition and placed on a pedestal. On New Year's Eve, you can use a coniferous bouquet as a festive table decor. In addition, you can buy a small artificial Christmas tree, hang garlands and balls on its branches and put it in a conspicuous place.
If the size of the room allows you to install a large tree, choose the most lush, even and tall tree and place it in the middle of the room. Place imitation boxes with gifts, figures of Santa Claus, Snow Maiden or snowman under the tree. With the right approach, this room will become the favorite place for kids and other family members.
If the room is not small, but also small, the best solution would be to install a Christmas tree in the corner. This way you will keep the spirit of the holiday, and at the same time, you will not take up too much space. Another advantage of this installation is the fact that the tree does not have to be flat. You can successfully place a one-sided pine tree in a corner, thereby hiding the hollows of the trunk without branches.
If you live in a private house, you can put a Christmas tree right in the yard, and decorate the apartment with branches for a sense of celebration.
Trends in New Year's Christmas tree decoration 2020
It's worth noting that Christmas tree decoration trends don't just pop up. The huge exhibition halls of Europe are preparing the style of decoration long before the holiday. For example, Christmasworld, the largest Christmas tree show in Germany, held its show back in January 2019, where it presented decorating trends for 2020.
Christmas tree decoration trends in 2020:
- Tropical motifs with bright and rich dark elements closely intertwined with golden decorations. It is important to use plant and animal prints, exotic flowers and leaves in the decor. Suitable colors are crimson, blue-green, marine.
- Exquisite decoration with toys covered with velvet, sequins or beads.
- The use of fur in New Year's paraphernalia.
- Stylish color combination: blue with elements of brown and gold.
- Christmas decorations in deep dark shades: wine, emerald and even black.
- Transparent glass and acrylic decorations.
- Garlands on jute ropes.
- Paper decorations in trendy shades.
Choosing the right style
Despite the trendy color schemes and symbols, many of us are in no hurry to decorate the tree according to the latest fashion trends, but follow more established design styles.
Classic style
Classic decoration includes several rules:
- hang large balls and other toys on large lower branches, and crayons on upper and thin ones;
- use no more than three color styles for the harmony of the composition;
- additional decorations on the branches can be showers, streamers, garlands and plastic beads.
Many families from year to year have the same rules for decorating the Christmas tree with antique toys or rain and tinsel.
Modern European style
The traditions of Western countries in decorating a Christmas tree are not much different from the classical ones. Here a special place is occupied by the symmetry of flowers and shapes on the tree. Branches are usually decorated with the same balls, ribbons and bows, and garlands are used only with single-color bulbs. Beautifully wrapped gifts, decorated in the same color scheme or style, are usually set under the tree.
Rustic eco-style
Eco-style implies the use of only attributes made of natural materials in the decoration of the Christmas tree. You can use toys made from wood, bark, or cones. Use felt, yarn or beads of natural shades as decorative elements. Knitted toys, as well as gingerbread or candy will be an excellent solution. If you want to complement the composition with rain, choose tinsel in light colors.
Scandinavian style
The Scandinavian style implies the use of decorations in cold colors, symbolizing the northern frost. Use toys and garlands of discreet colors and shapes. An excellent solution would be to use LED garlands in one color in the decor. For example, you can decorate the Christmas tree with snow-white balls and tinsel, a garland with white lamps, diluting the decoration with small elements in red.
Provence style
The style is based on shades of lavender, light pink, olive, silver and white decorations. For decor, pick up vintage jewelry, lace and ribbons, unpretentious balls and flowers. The tree will turn out to be gentle and romantic.
Vanguard and fusion
In such styles, decorative elements that are unusual for us are used. Classic balls and showers are not used here. The main colors are bright light green, purple and turquoise colors. Choose unusual animal figurines, metal snowflakes, glass balls with an interesting composition inside, or shiny twigs for decoration.
High tech
The high-tech style is characterized by the use of non-standard, but at the same time simple items. You can replace the classic live or artificial spruce with an original design item in the shape of a cone or pyramid. And for decoration, use a minimum number of non-standard items.
Minimalism
Remove all unnecessary, leaving the natural, natural beauty of the spruce. A similar style is increasingly used to decorate a New Year's beauty at home. It is enough just to hang light bulbs in the same color scheme on the branches, and enjoy the unity with nature.
Modern
Style implies the use of strict geometry in the decoration at the same time using an extraordinary approach. The style is characterized by spruce of non-standard colors, original identical toys or their complete absence. An important criterion for the Art Nouveau style is the use of a maximum of two shapes or shades, for example, red with black or blue with gold.
Retro style
Jewelery that was fashionable 50 years ago also has its place today. Standard attributes of retro decor: glass balls, cotton wool snow, a bunch of tinsel and serpentine, and a red five-pointed star on the top of the head. The style is good because almost every family has classic New Year elements of the Soviet era.
Other Styles
Less popular, but there are other styles of Christmas tree and room decoration as well.
Russian traditional
Decorate the tree with figurines that symbolize Russian traditions. It can be gingerbread, candy, beads, whistles, figurines of horses, deer and other animals. An integral attribute of the Russian style is Santa Claus with the Snow Maiden, which are installed under the tree or next to it.
Shabby chic
The style is subject to the use of antiques and specially aged things. Choose pastel-colored jewelry. In addition, use lace, original flowers and hearts, symbolizing luxury and chic.
Boho chic
Mixed style, including bright motifs and handmade jewelry. In the decoration, you can use everything that comes to hand: pompons, beads, ethnic figures.
Sea style
Nothing can please in winter cold like memories of summer. Use marine-style figurines as decorations: starfish, shells, fish, crabs. Bows can be made from sailor ribbons. Connect your imagination and complement the composition with original figures reminiscent of summer.
Country
An original idea for creating a harmonious composition is to decorate the branches with country-style bows. Use a pastel-colored material (sand, pale pink or white and blue) to create them. Decorations from cotton fabric of a checkered coloring will be useful. Add straw snowflakes, twig figurines, or homemade gingerbread to create a general style.
Sports
An interesting idea to use sports paraphernalia instead of Christmas tree decorations. Instead of balls, you can use balls, cars, medals, and instead of rain, you can use themed scarves and pennants.
Choosing the color of the jewelry
When the style has been decided, the next stage is the choice of the color scheme of the decoration.
What colors to decorate the Christmas tree in 2020
Since 2020 is the year of the White Metal Rat, these colors are recommended to be used in decoration and even attire for the holiday. The rat is attracted by elegant and sophisticated textures, decorations and glitters. Of course, this does not mean that you need to decorate the Christmas tree only with such decor. You can simply supplement the overall composition with several elements in a white-metal scale.
What colors to use and combine
Pay special attention to golden or silver decorations. Such decorations always create a sense of celebration and magic. A good option would be to use a chocolate fusion shade. You can focus on just these three colors or use them as a harmonious addition to the main style of the tree.
In fact, almost all colors can be used. However, keep toys and jewelry of the same intensity and depth. For example, a combination of flashy emerald and pale pink colors will look inappropriate. The most successful combination options include:
- several shades of brown (beige, yellow, chocolate);
- ivory, silver and blue-green;
- cold shades (white, blue and silver);
- icy blue, lilac and steel;
- deep blue and bright purple;
- champagne, gold and green;
- green and red;
- white and green.
Get creative and try to come up with your own combination by working through several options.
What colors don't match
Despite the variety of harmonious compositions, you can still make a mistake and use complex colors. For example, combinations are considered tasteless:
- yellow with purple;
- crimson and green;
- blue with red.
If you still use similar color schemes, try to create your own special style by arranging toys in groups or tiers.
Rainbow outfit
An original idea will be to decorate the Christmas tree with all the colors of the rainbow, sorting the decor by color and hanging it in tiers. As you know, the rainbow has 7 colors: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple. Place the toys on the branches in this sequence or in reverse, in any case the tree will be original.
Ombre style
An interesting solution is the arrangement on the tree in tiers or in a spiral of balls in the same color tone. In this case, the colors should not be the same, but smoothly transition from one tone to another. For example, you can place blue balls on the lower branches, then, ascending higher, add light blue, then blue, and finish the composition with sky blue or white balls at the top.
Decorations placement methods
You can hang decorations on the tree in 2 ways: longitudinal or chaotic. Each layout of toys has certain rules and nuances.
Longitudinal, spiral or annular
Longitudinal placement of toys helps to create the image of the Christmas tree as a stylish and concise element. Figures and balls can be placed in straight lines, sorting by the same color, or hung in tiers. With the help of a spiral arrangement, you can create an original Christmas tree with an interesting design in one or two colors.
Chaotic placement of jewelry
When using chaotic placement of toys, be careful, because this does not mean that chaos should be in style or design. The method is based on the chaotic arrangement of the decor on the branches, matched in the same style or color scheme. For example, you can combine very large and small balls in the same tone or decorate the needles with balls of different shades of the same size.
How to decorate a Christmas tree with garlands
Garland décor is an indispensable idea for creating a festive atmosphere. The main rule of garland decoration is an even distribution of lights. It will look ridiculous if there are too many bulbs on one branch and very few on the other. Garland placement methods:
- Before placing toys and other decor. The method helps to hide irregularities in the arrangement of the garland and does not take much time. Recommended for using LED string lights with small bulbs.
- The last stage is the decoration. The method is suitable for placing curly and large garlands. At the same time, it is not recommended to use more than three colors in the decor.
- wrap a garland around the trunk. It will be appropriate only on lush trees that hide the trunk well. By marking the garland in this way, you will achieve an interesting glow from the inside of the Christmas tree.
Ideas for decorating a Christmas tree
Classic balls and tinsel add style and solemnity to the tree. Nevertheless, you will make more original decorations if you replace the usual balls with other decorative elements or homemade Christmas toys.
Flower decoration
You will pleasantly surprise your family and relatives if you decorate the tree with artificial flowers. You can buy ready-made buds or whole chains-compositions, as well as make flowers yourself. It is important here to place the decorations on the branches correctly. The best solution would be longitudinal or spiral placement. The main thing is not to overdo it with the number and variety of shades in the decoration.
Edible Christmas tree decorations
You can delve into the past, and how in past centuries to use Christmas trees, pre-baked and painted gingerbread or cookies as decoration. The idea will become a fun adventure for both adults and children, because it is so interesting to independently prepare and paint a future toy. If you bake gingerbread directly on New Year's Eve, you can use edible decor as souvenirs or gifts on the night of the celebration. Bake gingerbread cookies in the form of rat figurines, the symbol of 2020, and then the decorations will not only be beautiful and tasty, but also bring good luck in the New Year.
Decoupage
If you love creating decorations for your Christmas tree, try decoupage making balls. To do this, you need simple balls and napkins with an original design or prints of New Year's cards.
Macrame jewelry
Using the macrame technique, you can weave original balls, bows, garlands or figurines. To make them, you will need to get acquainted with the weaving technique and elementary schemes quite a bit. With the help of even the most primitive knots, you can weave toys that will only be on your tree.
Knitted toys
If you know how to knit, use your skills to create Christmas tree decorations. Using knitting needles or a crochet hook, you can knit original figures of Santa Claus, Snow Maiden or snowman. In addition, make mittens or socks, and hide sweets or other sweets in them. Do not despair if you do not have knitting skills, you can use simple figures made of thread, for example, balls, pom-poms, brushes or garlands.
Family photos
Decorating the Christmas tree with small family photos is a great idea. Photos can be printed in the same style or placed in the same frames and hung on branches. You can collect an archive of pictures and make an original genealogical family tree out of the tree. All family members will like such jewelry.
Personal achievements
The idea of a similar decor was used to decorate a Christmas tree at the White House in 2011. Then the branches of the needles were decorated with medals and orders of the American military. The idea can be realized at home by hanging your own medals, figurines, examples of artwork, hobbies on the tree. You can also decorate the tree with children's crafts and drawings.
Christmas tree from the ceiling
It is believed that in this form the tree was hung by the founder of the tradition - Martin Luther. In the past few years, this arrangement of the Christmas tree has again become a trend and is widely used for home decoration.
What decorations can be made by hand
You can make a huge variety of toys yourself, you just need to show a little imagination. Use to create decorative elements:
- ribbons or scraps of fabric;
- beads and beads;
- salty dough;
- threads with PVA glue;
- polymer clay;
- natural materials.
For example, make figurines out of polymer clay or salt dough and paint them with acrylics to match the style of other decorations on the tree. Interesting snowflakes and icicles can be weaved from beads and beads, and balls can be made from threads dipped in PVA glue.
How to decorate a Christmas tree if there are no toys
If you do not have time to create toys for decoration with your own hands, use the materials at hand, adding a little decor to them.
Candy and lollipops
Sweets in bright packaging will be an excellent decor for a Christmas tree. To hang the candy, thread or a paper clip into the wrapper. Decorate edible toys with crepe paper, ribbons, or foil.
Oranges and biscuits
Dried and threaded orange slices or flat cookies in the form of various figures look original. You can gently insert a narrow ribbon into round cookies and hang them instead of balls.
Nuts and spices
You can make whole garlands from nuts, dried fruits or spices, having previously painted each element with golden or silver paint or decorated with ribbons.
Decor buttons

Cones
The cones will hang beautifully both in their usual form, and by slightly modifying them with paint or additional decor. The cones can be hung individually as balls, or fastened into garlands.
