We can find many reasons for you to love a 6-foot artificial Christmas tree. The tree can last for years and does not shed needles, but it has a downside. Many of these trees look fake, and having them stored most of the year does not do them justice. So, how do you make that faux tree look real? Here are some helpful guidelines to get started.

Fluff Those Branches

You do not want a skinny-looking tree showing it is fake. Fluff up those flattened pine needles and scrunched branches to remove bare patches. Doing this brings your tree back to life, and always start at the bottom and work your way up.

Never Skimp on Ornaments

Make your fake Christmas tree eye-catching with ornaments to fill the empty spots. Place ornaments strategically by starting with the larger ones and concentrate on those areas that need a sparkly distraction.

For a lush and fuller look, wrap your tree with garland loosely. You can start at the top to work your way down. But ensure you get strands long enough to cover your whole tree, as stopping halfway will not help.

If you do not have a long garland, you can use pine picks, spray, or any fake greenery attached to the tree’s stem. Yet, work them evenly throughout the branches to give your tree a balanced look. Also, hide the metal stem well to prevent giving it that fake look.

Add Real Branches with an Authentic Scent

Another great way to make your 6-foot artificial Christmas tree look real is by adding natural branches to your tree in the same color. Doing this creates the right texture to make your tree look organic. It helps to balance your tree by spacing the branches throughout it.

For a more authentic look, add a whiff of pine scent to your tree to give it a woodsy fragrance. For example, you can add pine-scented stick ornaments at the back of the tree. Alternatively, you can use pine needle essential oils or a pine-scented candle.

Add Some Snow and Top it With Tinsel

Spruce up the lacklustre branches with dusting artificial snow. Before decorating your tree, take it outside with a spray-on snow can. Then leave the tree outdoors to settle before taking it back inside. Now, you can add your decorations and let them stand out with tinsel if you are a fan of it.

Drape metallic tinsel on each branch and cover those sparse spots to fill your thin tree. Then add some pinecones with velvet ribbons strategically to cover bald spots. Finally, add a stand-out tree stand using a tree skirt or place your tree in a woven basket filled with pinecones.

Add Some Strands of Light

When you have a pre-lit tree, it helps avoid using added lights, but the best part is that adding more light strands will update your artificial tree. In addition, you can add vintage-styled bulbs to make the tree look great.
