Still trying to come up with ways to trim your tree, but not exactly sure what you want it to look like?
Should you keep it plain and simple, with a few lights and a little tree topper?
Or should you go all out with garland, ornaments, and extras?
OR… should you find a way to dress up your tree in a simple, easy way that causes you zero stress?
Ding, ding, ding. Don’t let tree decorating stress you out this season. Instead, follow a simple decorating template that’s customizable to you and your style!
A SIMPLE CHRISTMAS TREE DECORATING TEMPLATE TO HELP YOU TRIM YOUR TREE WITH EASE
First things first, there’s no right or wrong way to decorate a Christmas tree. I have some trees in my home that are completely plain. I have another that’s covered in hearts, flowers, and chunky yarn.
I actually only have one tree in my home that has ornaments on it at all. So I like to decorate my trees in a little bit of an unconventional way. If that’s you too, great! YOU DO YOU!
Decorate that tree exactly how you imagine it and don’t let anyone tell you it’s not what you’re supposed to do!
But if you need a little help getting started, this template should help inspire you to get creative!
Simply choose one item from each step to create your own Christmas tree style…
