Christmas tree

It's that time of the year again!
Time to put the christmas tree up!
We have bought a fake christmas tree a few years ago, because my sister is allergic to the real thing.
But it's a good quality tree, at the time it was around the 100 euros we paid for it and we have it more than 6 years for sure. It's about 1m80 of length.
In the package there's a foot to stand the tree up on, and then there's 3 pieces to put on top of each other and then you have our tree. It's up in about 5 minutes or less, but after you have to open up the branches a little and that takes a good 10 minutes if you wanna do it nicely.
Tadaaa now you have a tree :)




Now it's time to put some lights in it.
I've bought new ones this year and I went for warm ones, but I didn't looked at the length of it so I had to go back and buy a second pair of lights :)
I've started from the bottom up and put them more on the outside of the tree, so you see them really good instead of hiding them. Halfway up the tree I had to start with my second pair of lights that I bought. And this is the result!
I think it came out really nice.





Lets put in some ornaments in it!
This year we went for the colors red and gold, so it's a warm tree this year. We change it up each year.
First I've put in the red ornaments in, a bit all over the tree. The smaller ones I've put on top and the bigger ones in the bottom. We have shiny ones, matt ones and glitter ones. After that I've put in the golden ones, those are the same ones as the red ones. We bought those for about 15 euros the box, there are 24 ornaments per box. We finished it of with some bowes, also in red and gold. This time it didn't want to work for me, so my mom was so nice to help with the bowes.
This is the end result!
Hope you like my christmas tree, by now there are also some presents under it, you can see it on my instagram @theadventure_oflife . I'm interested to see your christmas tree, so you can share it with me if you want.

Love,
Sarah
