Your tree looks full, lush, and beautiful.

Each cable of light is 10 metres, having 100 bulbs. 

Follow the recommended number of cables to purchase in the table above.

Start coiling your lights around your tree at 10-15 cm intervals of each line.

Should you prefer a more intense effect, you can coil them at more narrow intervals and connect more lights later.

When you have finished coiling the first cable, simply connect one cable to another to extend your lights

Your lights are already green wired to blend well with the tree. 

Push them inward so that the branches of your tree cover the wires.

Want a more magical effect? Coil your tree entirely twice. With some cables shoved all the way in, and some just before the surface

Foundation baubles are often baubles of the same colour, sold in more quantity per packaging, and economical.

They provide a great foundation to the tree.

Fill your tree up in a distinct pattern to ensure it does not look awkward or funny later. We like to follow a triangular motion.

For those who prefer, you may even replace this part with larger flowers, or ribbons.

Tree Picks and Sprays are ornaments you shove into the tree. A tree spray is generally larger than a pick. Tree picks are mini sized.

Accent baubles are baubles usually sold in packaging of 4 or 6 to add some accents of life and design to your tree. They should not be over-used like your foundation baubles.

Fill up the big gaps with tree sprays, also following a distinct pattern.

Feel free to add more variety of tree picks.

Now, you can add the remanining empty spaces with tree picks.

Most tree toppers are in the format of a star.

Place it just at the top of the tree but do not insert the tip of the tree into the hoop of the star. 

Simply place your star at the top and bend the surrounding branches to hold it. It looks more natural this way.

If you wish, secure it with a cable tie against the top of the tree.

This prevents it from falling if someone were to accidentally knock into the tree, or if naughty children went to shake it.

Complete the look!

We really think you should.

You now have a beautifully decorated tree, ready for pictures.
