Step 1: Assemble the Things You'll Need.
In particular, it is important to choose items that are elegant and reflect the beauty of Christmas in winter:

Wind the wire around the top of the tree to secure the lights to the tree.
You may need to stand on a stool or stepladder to reach the top of the tree. , Push the branches of the tree between them to ensure that the lights stay in place. , Take a roll of white organza.
Cut the fabric in half along the length of the material.
Gather the fabric all the way down the roll.
Wind a piece of wire around the end of one strip and attach it to the top of the tree.
Drape the organza in a spiral around the tree all the way to the bottom, placing one strip after another.
Lay it on roughly at first and then tidy it up once it is in place.
Twist a piece of wire around the ends and secure it to the tree. , You can buy these from any florist in a number of colours. , You can rest some snowflakes on top of the branches further in towards the tree trunk to add depth. ,, Thread some wire through the bauble and twist it onto a branch.
