How to decorate a Christmas tree

Wendy Clarkson, Director at ChristmasTimeUK, lets us in on her top Christmas decorating tips and trends for 2010

Step 1 - Prune the branches

Whether your Christmas tree is real or artificial, ensure you choose one that has full green foliage and take your time to arrange the branches before decorating. 

Once you've positioned the tree, stand back and study its shape. If it isn't symmetrical, use secateurs to remove branches that are sticking out. Cutting them at an angle will help to disguise the fresh cuts.
