Create a magical holiday atmosphere at home.
Decide on the color scheme
It all depends on your preferences and imagination. There are no clear rules - make the Christmas tree colorful or more laconic by choosing one or several primary colors.
The traditional festive color is red. It matches perfectly with green, gold and white. By choosing these shades, you will definitely not go wrong.

You can dress the tree entirely in gold or add white accents to it.

A Christmas tree in silvery tones looks especially gentle. White and blue elements will fit wonderfully here.

If all this is too usual for you, try dressing the tree in non-standard colors, for example, pink, purple, green, blue. Or pair a few bright shades together.

If you have a colored or white-coated Christmas tree, start from its color - it will be the main one. You can choose decorations to match the branches or play with contrast.

Hang decorations
First of all, do not forget to hang electric garlands on the tree. Here are some ways to do it:
When choosing jewelry, do not be afraid to give free rein to your imagination. You can resort to the good old classics and just hang up balls and other toys. Such a tree will look laconic, but at the same time elegant.

Very large balls, stars and other decorations look original.
Add bows to the tree - small or very large. You can dilute the rest of the toys with them or make the main emphasis on them.

You can also decorate the Christmas tree with ribbons. There are many ways to arrange them, such as in a circle, diagonally, top to bottom, or criss-cross.

A similar way:
And here's how to decorate the tree with a very wide ribbon in a circle:
Add handmade elements
Handmade decor will add uniqueness and home comfort to the tree. The creation process will surely give you a lot of fun. And the hanging decorations will delight the eye, remind of pleasant moments or a loved one, if it was a gift.
Not only homemade garlands and toys can be hung on the tree. Dried circles of citrus fruits, cinnamon sticks or Christmas cookies on threads, photographs, small gifts and paper snowflakes will look great.

Decorate the bottom of the tree
Cover the unsightly cross with a Christmas tree skirt. Try to match it with the rest of the jewelry.

You can buy a ready-made skirt or make it yourself. For example, from a round tablecloth:
Another very simple felt option:
If you have a sewing machine, sew a patchwork skirt:
Those who know how to crochet can make such a wedge-shaped skirt:
If this is difficult for you, knit a regular circle of fluffy yarn. Thanks to the material, the decoration will look very elegant:
Instead of a special skirt, a piece of beautiful fabric, burlap or tinsel is also suitable. Just wrap them around the crosspiece.
The final touch is to place beautifully wrapped gifts and Christmas toys under the decorated Christmas tree.
