Once your tree is ready you can think on the decoration part. For decoration you can choose a particular style theme or color. It can be based on any color like golden, copper, silver and accordingly you can choose your ornaments for decorations. Lighting is also an important part of Christmas tree decoration. If you are using artificial tree than you can get trees which are complete with the sockets and provisional wirings. However if you are using a real one than wiring is to be done. You can use multi colored bulbs to give a dazzling effect to your tree. Start your lighting from the top and than move downwards. Other than the lighting you can also use various kind of ornaments to decorate your tree like dolls, stars, soft toys, cartoon figures and pinecones. To add color to your tree you can use ribbon loops of bright color like red, green, yellow and blue. Use natural materials to give a realistic look to your decoration.

For embellishments spray the twigs with silver or copper color.
