If you have pets, use ribbon or string instead. You never know when they’re going to get their paws on—or sink their teeth into—an ornament. • Tip • Hang ornaments with green florist’s wire, which blends in better than ornament hooks. • Step 2: Hang lights and tinsel first • String the lights and tinsel or garland before hanging any ornaments. • Step 3: Start with matching sets • Start by hanging sets of matching ornaments so you can disperse them evenly. • Step 4: Create depth • Hang some ornaments close to the tree trunk. They shouldn’t all be teetering on the tips of the branches. • Step 5: Balance things out • Put the heaviest ornaments on the sturdier, inside branches. But don’t forget to put some smaller, lighter ones there, too, for balance. • Tip • If you have an ornament that would benefit from backlighting, dangle it near a tree light. • Step 6: Protect your valuables • Protect ornaments with sentimental or monetary value by placing them higher up and deeper inside the tree, where they are less likely to get knocked down. • Step 7: Place the tree topper • After you’ve hung the last ornament, gently add the tree topper. • Step 8: Take a last look • Step back a few feet and study the tree from different angles to see that everything looks balanced. Make adjustments if needed. • Did You Know? • A German glassmaker created a $26,000 Christmas ornament decorated with 12-karat gold and featuring 120 diamonds.
