Shaping an Artificial Christmas Tree

Posted by friends - November 8th, 2009

Pre-lit Foliage Tree Shaping

One of the questions we hear the most at www.christmascentral.com is: How do I shape my Artificial Christmas tree like the pros? When you take your artificial Christmas Tree out of the box it is all wraped up to save space. With a little work you can get your tree to look lush and full. Follow these simple steps and you will be decorating like the pros.  

  1. Find the perfect Artificial Christmas Tree 
  2. Carefully unpack tree from the protective packaging.
  3. Select the desired location for the tree and place in the Christmas Tree stand. Insert the first section into the tree stand. Secure the first section of the tree to the stand by fastening the triangular wing nuts, without over tightening.
  4. Plug the light cord lead into a UL approved extension cord, at least 6′ long. Insert the plug into an outlet and light the first section. The best look will be achieved by shaping the tree while lit.
  5. Start from the bottom row of tree branches and randomly fan the bottom branches parallel to the floor. Separate the branch tips to form a V shape. Angle the tips slightly upward like they are reaching toward the sun.
  6. Repeat this process for each row and section. Shape each section’s branch tips in an upward angle and more pronounced. The top tree branches should be evenly spaced and the branches pointing upward.
