How to Add Small Branches to an Artificial Christmas Tree

Video Transcript

"Ho! Ho! Ho! I'm Matt Cail, and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you today how to set up and decorate an artificial Christmas tree. Now let's take our smaller branches, which should be the only ones left since this is around a four foot tree. Put those in very much like we did the larger branches; again, going into the metal slots and making sure that they are in there very nice and firm, but not jamming down on the branches. So we are not worrying about fullness or shaping any branches just yet. Our primary concern is just getting all the branches in here and up off of the floor. Now, as soon as you do basically get really close to getting all of your branches in, it's time to add the other big piece, which is the top of your tree, in here. This will fit a little bit differently. There will probably be a slot for it on your tree, depending on exactly the model that you have. But you are going to need to have a little bit more support in here. You want to make sure that you kind of wiggle it back and forth to make sure that it's really in there. So that will add for good stability on your tree. At this point, your entire tree shape should be taking shape. Although, you will actually understand that the fullness stuff that this doesn't really...it looks a little too spindly. We'll be focusing on the fullness of your tree next. "
