What You’ll Need

  • Pre-lit flock tree (6.5 ft, LED lights recommended)
  • Wire mesh ribbon (preferably with metallic accents)
  • Scissors

Step 1: Assemble and Fluff Your Tree

  • Unbox your tree and assemble the sections.
  • Fluff each branch to make it look full and natural.
  • Spread the branches apart to cover any gaps or holes.

Step 2: Add Metallic Wire Mesh

  1. Cut the Mesh
  • Use scissors to cut the wire mesh into manageable pieces.
  • Start with pieces long enough to scrunch and fit into the tree’s gaps.
  1. Scrunch and Place
  • Scrunch each piece of mesh by pinching it together in the middle.
  • Push the scrunched mesh into the tree wherever you notice gaps or holes near the center.
  • The metallic accents will reflect the tree’s lights, adding depth and sparkle.
  1. Optional: Layer More Mesh
  • If you like a fuller, busier tree, cut additional pieces of wire mesh.
  • Place these on the outer branches for extra texture and shine.

Step 3: Check Your Work

  • Step back and examine your tree.
  • Make sure it looks full and balanced from all angles.
  • Adjust the mesh placement as needed to achieve the desired look.

Tips for Success

  • Use metallic accents. These catch the light beautifully, making the tree sparkle without adding extra ornaments.
  • Layer strategically. Start from the center and work outward to build a full, cohesive look.
  • Keep it balanced. Distribute the mesh evenly to avoid clumps or uneven areas.

Decorating your tree can be simple, affordable, and stunning! Stay tuned for more tips on ornaments and finishing touches to make your tree shine. 🎄✨
