I’m a Christmas whizz & you’ve been putting tinsel on all wrong – here’s the right way that looks so much better
EVERYONE decorates their Christmas tree a little differently.
Whether you’re more of a ribbon and bows kind of person or maybe you love the minimalist look – there’s something for everyone.
Tinsel is one of the most festive decorations out there, but it divides opinion – some say it’s tacky, others can’t get enough of the stuff.
But one clever Christmas fan shared a hack to make it look loads more posh.
You might be used to wrapping your Christmas tree in tinsel, but if you want something a bit more subtle, give this method a go instead.
Teana shared how she upgraded her tinsel on her TikTok account @1nsanitea and it’s a total game changer.
She took a row of tinsel and wrapped a small amount around the edge of a tree branch before snipping off any excess.
The she repeated the process around the tree for small glimmers of tinsel, rather than masses of the stuff coating the tree.
Teana opted for silver tinsel with stars on her green tree, but you could go for any style of tinsel you like to match the colour of your tree and the rest of your decorations.
You could even use different colours of tinsel of a fun take on the hack.
“It might not be everyone’s taste but I think she’s cute,” Teana captioned the clip.
And she’s not the only one obsessed with the festive hack, viewers loved the different take on a Christmas classic and couldn’t wait to spruce up their own trees.
One person said: “Aww it looks like little fireworks on the tree.”
Teana agreed, replying to the comment: “YES! This was the first thing I noticed, was waiting for someone else to see it too.”
Someone else wrote: “At first I was like ‘nahhh too much work’ and then I saw the end product.
“I’ve taken a screenshot for future me to refer back to!”
Another said: “That’s so much smarter, out tinsel is years old and falling apart and too short for the whole tree!”
“I was sceptical at first but the results look amazing,” someone else wrote.”
Teana explained that she only used three metres of tinsel on her tree, but you could use as much or as little as you like.
Just remember to remove it carefully so you can use it again next year!
