Fuss Free Christmas Tree Decorating

A quick and easy way to be able to decorate the Christmas tree fuss-free

Material

Bauballs/Decorations
String/Ribbon
Scissors

Method

Cut your string as long as you please - I use about 1.5 meters to 2 meters.
Take a decoration and tie it on one end of the string, about 20cm from the end.
Take a 2nd decoration and leave about a 10-20cm gap from the first decoration and tied on the next decoration. Continue this until you fill up the whole string. Keep going with as many strings of decorations as needed.
(with mine, I went by colours with bauballs)
Now, just twirl it around the tree as you would with tinsel =)

Easy to make, easy to use and put on the tree, and easy to take off the tree and store until next Christmas =)

Notes

I was thinking this year on how to decorate the tree to make it look nice, not all ratty like it usually does when I decorate lol. So here is what I came up with, and honestly it was much easy to do to receive a nicer Christmas tree. Next year I will be using more decorations. Looks really effective.

Oh yes, I need this. It’s always a struggle to get the baubles well balanced and looking good. Easy way to ensure this

Hmmmm, I think I prefer the individual baubles. I get frustrated hanging the lengths of tinsel, I’m picturing extra frustration with a string of balls

  To stop the kids from fighting over who’s put the most decorations on the tree

Very clever tree decorating idea – we have a mixed and eclectic collection of baubles.

Was wondering how I’d keep my three year old and her dog from pulling off the decorations and this could be the solution!

thats a clever idea and would be good to do it on a gold or silver string.

Very clever idea and it does look good, but I have special name baubles that are placed in special areas. Also children like to hang and decorate as well. thanx for sharing though.

This is a clever idea but I like decorating the tree with the kids.
