Choosing the Right Shade of Green for Your Artificial Christmas Tree

When it comes time to decorate green artificial Christmas trees, many people start out feeling happy and lighthearted about this. However, they end up feeling stressed in the middle, and this can result in the end result being less than what you hoped for. The key to decorating your green artificial Christmas trees so that this is a stress-free experience is to do this in a way that eliminates some of the more common stresses that can happen. With proper planning, decorating your green artificial Christmas trees can be a pleasant experience.

Decorating Your Artificial Christmas Tree with Ease

Check out these tips to help you decorate your tree without feeling as though the stress of the world is on your shoulders!

1. Pick the right time to decorate. This means picking a night that you can devote to just decorating your green artificial Christmas trees. You do not want to be rushed, so you need to do this on a night when you have nothing else to do. And you may find it best to schedule when this will be so that you are not scrambling to put up your tree two days before Christmas. Try to avoid scheduling for any day that you have been up to ears with other tasks, as you may already feel stress when you get home.

2. Have an easy dinner. There is nothing worse than trying to decorate your tree at night and knowing that you need to get done in order to get dinner completed. This is why many people decide that this night will be a night for delivery or something super simple. Plus, who wants to clean the kitchen after they have spent the afternoon or night decorating their green artificial Christmas trees? No one! So plan accordingly, even something as simple as popping in a frozen pizza will help lower your stress levels.

3. Do the prep work beforehand. This means go ahead and have all your decor laid out and ready to use. This way, you are doing less time searching for what you’re looking for. Go ahead and bring up your decor a day or two before your planned date to put this tree up.

4. End the decorating with something fun! This is a great way to make sure that you are looking forward to the entire night. For example, some people, once they have the tree completely decorated, decide that this is the right time for a movie night. Or you can opt for this to be the time that you read the latest best-selling book out there. The key is to do something that is relaxing to you and starts a new tradition.

Every year from now on, if you follow these tips, you are going to find that you have made new traditions when it comes to putting up your Christmas tree. And in making these new traditions, you are actually making this an experience that is not as stressful for you, so it is a win-win deal!

Here we have a fun project you and the kids can do this year to decorate your artificial Christmas trees. Well, that is to say, if you enjoy crafting while styling with felt. We have some simple tips to make your festive season chirpy. The Christmas ornaments will also make excellent gifts for others.

Why Use Felt for Your DIY Project?

We can give you several reasons to use felt to make decorations for your artificial Christmas tree. First, it is the best material for crafting and works well if you are a do-it-yourself beginner not good at sewing. The material needs fewer precisions compared to other fabrics.

When you cut felt, it will not unravel and works with different formats with detail. On the other hand, the fabric is affordable and readily available at various stores in sheets, making it craft-ready. Furthermore, compared to wool, the felt is cheaper.

You can buy felt in different colors without using the traditional Christmas color scheme. Instead, you can add beads, and glitter discs, to using yarn on it.

Make Star Christmas Ornaments Out of Felt

With some felt, a few buttons, and patience, you can make basic ornaments for your artificial Christmas trees shaped like stars. While sewing with a machine will make things simple, you can work by hand. The overall design and different felt stars should take about an hour with a machine and about two hours by hand.

Items You Need:

If you decide to make your stars, you will need the following:

• Different colored felt for crafting
• Some narrow ribbon
• Buttons
• Stuffing
• Pins and scissors
• Sewing machine
• Pinking shears
• Matching thread to use with the felt
• Needles to sew by hand

Next, draw some stars on the felt a few inches bigger to sew with the machine or your hand. Then sew it together, leaving space to add the stuffing, and complete it by sewing it close with a piece of ribbon intact to hang on your tree. Then make your stars colorful by adding sparkly buttons.

Instead of Sewing Glue It Together

Alternatively, if you do not enjoy sewing, another great thing is to buy some craft glue that you can use to glue the pieces together. Then, enjoy the crafting with the kids, as you can make different ornaments for your tree.

Final Thoughts

This is only one idea using felt to create ornaments for your artificial Christmas trees to make them come alive. Many other options are available to make beautiful decorations for the home and tree using felt this Christmas.
