Step 1 - How to fluff up a Christmas tree
Artificial trees, new or old, are typically stored in boxes, so you’ll need to shape them to achieve that full silhouette. Start by fanning out the tips of each branch in different directions to avoid gaps. Once you’ve tackled the branches individually, step back and look at the tree as a whole. Then inspect each layer to ensure consistency.
Here are some top tips to bear in mind:
• It’s a good idea to protect your hands and wear gloves when bending the tree’s wire branches.
• Rope in the whole family to get the job done quicker.
• Look at the reference photo on the box to get an idea of the shape you’re aiming for.
