Choose A Theme.
This is a matter of taste. Some people have beautifully decorated trees that are a Hodgepodge of ornaments, themes, colors and mementos collected over years.
If this is your first Christmas Tree and you do not have any ornaments or mementos to add to it yet then start simple. Pick a theme like Snowman Christmas Ornaments and choose a few and add one or two colors of Glass Christmas Ornaments Balls to compliment the selection. You can change the look each year by adding something extra or even taking something away, as your tastes and home change.
Adding Large Decorations.
After the lights are turned on, stand a few feet away from the tree and squint. You will see where all the large holes are. You can adjust the C7 lights to fill in where you can and then add larger ornament balls, floral picks or other large ornaments to the other spots. Some types of ornaments you could add here are 3-4 inch diameter ornament balls, any style ornaments that are 4-5 inches long or floral picks or bouquets.

Adding Garlands.
Next you add any Garlands you might like. These can be the traditional Popcorn Garland, Cranberry Garland, Candy Garland, Gingerbread Garland, Foil Garland or Tinsel Garland. You can even add a green garland such as an Apple Garland with Pine Cones. The rule of thumb is 2 yards of garland for every foot of tree height.
Add the Green Garland first. Start at the top of the tree and work you way down draping it in small curves that increase gradually as you move down the tree. If you will also be adding Popcorn, Cranberry or Crystal Mirrored Garland, then you will want the Green Garland a little further back on the branch to let the Bead Garland hang on the edge of the tips.
You can also use Unique Christmas Ribbon as garland. The rule of thumb is the same and you add it to the tree in the same general manner.
Adding Ornaments.
Once the Garland is in place hang your smaller ornaments as you like. This is where you hang the smaller ornaments in your chosen theme, such as Fish Ornaments, Military Nutcracker Ornaments or Nutcracker Ballet Ornaments or Glass Christmas Ornaments.
Finishing Touches.
There are many things you can add to the very ends of the tips for special effects. If crystal will go with your theme you can add crystal or crystal like icicles or even old fashioned tinsel icicles.
Christmas Tree Toppers.
There are lots of styles of Christmas Tree Toppers. They come is all the different stars such as, Lighted Tinsel Star Toppers, Moravian Star Tree Toppers, Five Pointed Star Toppers and Star of Bethlehem Tree Toppers. There are Angel Tree Toppers in lots of colors and styles like, Elegant Gold Angels, Midnight Blue Fiber Optic Angels, Burgundy and Gold Angel Toppers, Green Angel Gifts and Animated Angel Toppers.
