Lazy Christmas Tree Decorating

I was being very last this year with my decorations. Mostly because we were traveling to see family during Thanksgiving and Christmas, so there's a short window between to hanging stuff up and taking it down. So I thought and thought....

 I thought about what's already here to decorate with and what my goals were for my vision. I really liked the idea of stringing ribbon on my tree. So decided to use some leftover tulle and decorated my tree. My tree is 7ft. pre-lit so half of the job was done.

Materials:

• Tulle rolls of different colors (I used 3 shades of pink, any color combinations that complement each other well together will work)
• Scissors
• Any size tree pre-lit or not; faux or not*

 *aside: make sure you are watering your real Christmas trees daily to avoid dryness and fire hazards.

Instructions:

1. Cut the tulle into strips about 2ft to 3 ft long (for a smaller tree try 6in to 1ft long)
2. Once you've decided your color pattern, take the end of one strip and tie it to the end of the other into a bow. 
   If you are a perfectionist like I am and hate twisted bows, please see this link here for the Perfect Bow
   
   
   
3. Continuing in your color pattern, tie the tulle strips together end to end until desired length is reached.
4. (I started from the top) String the tulle around the tree until completely covered.
