How to put together a fully-lit artificial Christmas tree

The full artificial Christmas tree serves as a stunning focal point in any room. If you’re the type to put up your Christmas decorations in October, or you just don’t want to deal with the hassle of watering and trimming a real tree, this is for you.

The following are tips on how to put a fully-lit artificial tree together

Pick the correct measurement

You should start by determining what size tree you want to plant. It makes sense to get a bigger tree if your living or family room is spacious. If you don’t have much space, such as in an apartment or a modest house, a smaller tree may be more suitable. Make sure the area where you intend to put the tree is large enough to accommodate it.

First-time cuts require careful measuring and planning.

Check the height of your ceiling to ensure that the artificial Christmas tree you’ve chosen will fit before bringing it inside. Start your measuring at the ground and stop when you reach the desired height for the tree’s highest branch (usually at eye level). Keeping this in mind, you can determine how tall your artificial Christmas tree needs to be so that it doesn’t topple over when guests arrive or when you or your guests move around the room.

It’s best to begin at the base of the tree and work your way up.

There are normally two portions to the trunk – one that fits into a hole in the stand, and another that goes into the top of the tree. Make sure they’re both secure before continue.

Next, put on the branches. Each branch has a hole at its end, which should line up with an adequately sized hole in the trunk or part above it. Insert each branch into these holes until all of them are in position and secure with screws or other hardware (depending on how your tree was packaged) (depending on how your tree was packaged). If you need someone to hold branches while you secure them, or vice versa, consider recruiting an assistant.

Decorate, at long last! Enhance the aesthetic value of your tree by adorning it with lights, garlands, and other ornaments.

Don’t try to rush things; go slowly and methodically

Drilling holes into metal fasteners is essential for putting together an artificial tree, but doing so carelessly can result in the fasteners breaking.

Make contingency plans

In case any of the screws you use during assembly or later on break while being tightened, you might want to pick up an extra set. As a result, you won’t have to worry about waiting for replacements from the manufacturer or finding a suitable replacement at a local hardware store (which could be inconvenient).

Make sure you’re using a drill that can spin in both directions before you start driving screws.

Drilling into each fastener hole multiple times until they line up correctly with their corresponding apertures on the trunk frame and branches of your new tree stand might be tiresome on your hands if the bit only spins in one way.
