Is there a best/correct way to hang decorative balls on a christmas tree ?

[Dave7]

Never had a tree in my life. Daugher has bought me a 5' one and a large box of balls (there is twine to tie them with).
Do I start with small at the top and work down ?
The tree.....

Baubles are free spirits. Do as you see fit, as long as they don't fall off, no one really cares, especially the baubles.

If, as per the picture above*, its in a corner of the room, you can place fewer on the side that's facing into the corner.

*I'm assuming that the door on the left of the picture isn't in use. Bad place to put the tree.

Just realised.....that is NOT my tree. No idea where that photo came from.
This is mine

I tell someone else to do it. If they don't then I won't be upset.

We rely on our granddaughter to do ours it's much easier

And just who would I tell to do it ?

However you wnat @Dave7 there are no rules, but your small at top sounds like a good plan.

Short answer: no.

Longer answer that only really applies if you have cat(s): hang them wherever, they'll still have a go at them.

Once you have attached your baubles in an aesthetically pleasing pattern, and once Christmas is over, wrap the tree in clingfilm and stick it in the loft/garage/somewhere and it will be pre-decorated for next year..

The dog, the postman. It matters not.

Our tree decorations have gone from a 'chuck it all on' that the kids did, to my daughter now wanting it all colour co-ordinated, so we have different sets now for each year. Just tie a loop in the twine, and shove them on is my moto.

Don't have a dog.
Just asked the postman "excuse me, would you mind tying my balls up"? .......I had no idea he could run that fast

Too many for the tree pictured.

Sort by size and colour, possibly leaving any out that are the colours of any other football team you don't follow.
