Place Your TreeSHINE A LIGHT Place your tree in a spot that permits natural light to hit it, while ensuring the tree itself does not block out any light from windows. In the same vein, make sure it is also not shoved into a dark corner, only to be seen when the fairy lights come on. You&rsquo;ll want to make sure there&rsquo;s a power supply nearby, too!TO BE SEEN The focal point of any home during Christmas is always the tree, so make sure it is visible from multiple vantage points when you put it in its spot. Let it be the first thing you see when you enter your home, coming down from the stairs or from the kitchen with a cup of hot chocolate in hand. The more you see it, the more the festive vibe builds!DON&rsquo;T HINDER Even in an open-concept home, there should be natural pathways between rooms that should not be blocked, not even by a Christmas tree. Make sure to consider this on top of the two aforementioned factors when choosing a spot. You don&rsquo;t want to knock over a towering mess of shrubbery and fragile festive ornaments on your way to the kitchen in the middle of the night. String Your LightsSTART WITH THE TRUNKMany would overlook this step and go straight to wrapping the lights around the branches instead. You normally end up with a thin weave of lights which might look hollow when lit up. Go deep and string single coloured fairy lights around the trunk from top to bottom; you will end up with a Christmas tree that looks like it is glowing from within!<img src="http://magarticles.magzter.com/articles/813/317339/5c0a4aef40179/1544178405_loc.jpg"" owidth=687 oheight=661" style="height:481px; width:500px" />TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT Most Christmas trees have their lights strung horizontally in a helix pattern, but if you are looking for something different, try switching planes, and go vertical with your fairy lights instead. For one, it is easier to do as it only requires that the lights to be secured on the top; for another, it creates a unique &lsquo;light-fall&rsquo; effect which makes your Christmas tree stand out from the rest. Just make sure to secure it at the bottom too, to avoid the lights moving around.NO SPACE UNFILLED When it comes to lighting up a larger Christmas tree, you will need two or more sets of fairy lights to really fill it in. To prevent that unlit spaces between the branches, try overlapping the lights as you wind them around the tree. Step back once you&rsquo;re done and do a squint test; you should see the tree completely covered by bokeh with no gaps in between.
