Decorating Your Mini Christmas Tree With Lights – Get the Hottest Decorations For Less
Mini Christmas trees with lights are an easy way to enhance your holiday decorating plans. Small Christmas trees lend a festive finishing touch both inside and out. And no matter where you place your tiny Christmas tree, they appear magical, particularly when twinkling with soft, inviting lights. Whether they’re used to decorate your living room, as an outdoor accent, a centerpiece, or as your very own “Christmas tree” –their whimsical yet warm beauty is sure to make them the perfect addition to any holiday celebration. Just make sure you choose mini Christmas trees with lights made of strong, durable wire and that come with a string that runs down the center of the tree.
The best part about a miniature Christmas tree with lights: is that you can use it in almost any room of the house. And though it’s small and not as pretty as a full-sized one, it still looks extremely festive. You can put it in the middle of your living room, in front of your fireplace, on your patio, decking it out along the perimeter of your backyard, or wrap it around a pillar in your church. You can even tuck it behind a rocking chair or a shelf in your bedroom. Miniaturizing a full-size tree is a great idea for those who just don’t have time to keep a big Christmas tree on their outdoor patio all year round.
Miniaturizing an artificial Christmas tree is relatively easy: but it does require some careful planning. First of all, you’ll need to choose which mini Christmas tree with lights you’d like to use. There are two types: the full-sized variety and the mini version. The difference between these two is mostly the height of the branches. A full-sized tree can reach up to forty-five feet; a mini Christmas tree with lights can reach only thirty-six to forty-three feet.
Next, you’ll need to decide: what type of lights and baubles you’d like to adorn your mini Christmas trees with. The traditional Christmas trees have open topped branches and simple glass bulbs in their baubles; the mini Christmas trees with lights have stars, candy canes, twinkling lights, and shiny ribbons. But if you have a particularly fondness for traditional Christmas trees, you may want to adorn your mini Christmas trees with more elaborate baubles and artificial nativity sets. The possibilities are endless. Just remember to make sure the lights and baubles are water-resistant and will withstand high winds.
When choosing what type of tree to decorate with: you’ll also need to consider whether you want to buy a pre-lit or unlit one. A pre-lit Christmas tree is easier to decorate – you just need to run an extension cord from the baseboard up to the top of the tree. However, it takes hours longer to assemble and decorate a lit tree; the extra time spent putting the tree together will be well worth it. Some families choose to buy their own pre-lit Christmas tree and then decorate it themselves with battery operated or solar lights. This way they can decorate their tree for fewer hours because there aren’t any batteries or electricity involved.
To get the best decorating effect: I recommend using LED Christmas lights rather than regular bulbs. With regular bulbs, you either have to place them in a special transformer to charge up, or you risk damaging the fragile casing. Even the best battery-operated lights fall victim to the effects of heat. LED lights put out a lot less heat, so you won’t have to worry about damaging the casing when you hold the plug to connect them to the Christmas tree’s power supply.
And with LED bulbs, you can get a much more festive mood for your mini Christmas tree with lights that really reflect the true spirit of the holiday season.
