Most of my bedroom Christmas trees are 6 foot trees, which works fine for the guest bedrooms but for our Master bedroom it doesn’t seem to fit the room.  I just can’t seem to let myself spend the money to go buy a taller tree.  I was thinking what I can do to make my 6 foot tree fit properly.  I think I got it figured out!

Here is what my Christmas tree looked like last year at Christmas.

I think it needs to be taller, don’t you?  Here is what I am going to do to make the same tree look taller.

I brought in one of my patio tables from our back porch and placed my tree on top of it.

Taking two 6 foot Christmas garlands.  (You can purchase them at any department stores).  I attached the garland to the bottom branches of my tree.  I started at one end of the garland and attached it to the back lowest branch draping it the length I wanted and attaching it to the next branch.

I attached the garland to the tree by just twisting two stems together, one stem from the branch to one stem from the garland.

I kept attaching and draping until I had all the lower branches attached to the garland.  I fluffed all the garland to fill in all the gaps.  Twisting fingers to each other to close the gap.

Doesn’t that look like a taller tree?

I added lights to the garland.

Decorating our home on a budget is my thrill.   I think a home can look beautiful without breaking the bank.    Your home should bring the best out of you and make you feel happy.  You should smile every time you enter your home. 🙂
