One of the main reasons why the artificial tree doesn’t look like a genuine tree is because the fake tree trunk is evident through its uneven fullness or thin limbs. No matter the size of your artificial Christmas tree, you can add more branches to make it look and feel more real.
Keep the Christmas spirit alive by avoiding having your fake tree detract from the real thing. Minimal work is required to fix broken artificial tree limbs.
To begin, try increasing the size of your holiday lights.
One simple trick for making a Christmas tree appear fuller is to use lights of varying diameters.
One set of Christmas tree lights should be smaller and more compact than the other. Both sets of lights can be the same color, say white. One of the strands of lights should ideally be made up of incandescent lamps to give the room a more traditional atmosphere.
It’s like comparing a pre-lit, skinny Christmas tree to one that’s been adorned with two strands of enormous bulbs. What was formerly a rather slim artificial tree now has the necessary heft and density.
With the second set Christmas lights on, the tree is even more beautiful and bright. One may even go so far as to utilize multicolored bulbs if they so desired. The key is concealed within the larger lamp.
Garland the Empty Space
Using evergreen garland to cover the tree’s extremely poor areas is another way to make your artificial Christmas tree look fuller.
Your Christmas tree can still look fantastic even if it isn’t precisely symmetrical, as long as you fill up a few locations with more greenery to hide the imperfections.
When using garland to fill up empty spaces all over the tree, a shade that contrasts just a little can make a big difference in the overall aesthetic.
Wrap the Christmas tree with a large bow.
Wrapping a wide ribbon around a Christmas tree numerous times will make it a more impressive centerpiece. You can make your fake Christmas tree look bigger by wrapping it with ribbon to hide the gaps between the branches.
Use larger ornaments.
Decorate your fake tree for the holidays by mimicking a store window display. Both commercial storefront Christmas trees and professionally decorated Christmas trees typically have large, clunky ornaments.
Hang ornaments of flowers from the Christmas tree.
Thin spots on a tree can be patched up with a pine pick. It improves your tree’s overall appearance and gives it personality.
Let it snow!
Snow is a great way to make artificial Christmas trees look fuller. Adding white flocking to your Christmas tree is completely voluntary, but it’s a nice way to celebrate the winter season.
You may use a big bow and see what happens.
Adding bows to your Christmas tree might fill in the voids depending on the aesthetic you’re going for. Some people find that using bows of varying sizes and colors adds visual interest to their packages.
Protect the base of the fake tree.
Put a tree skirt under your artificial Christmas tree or lots of fabric around it to hide the stand and the fake tree trunk. Even the priciest artificial Christmas trees have flimsy tree trunks that are visible at the base.
