The search for the perfect Christmas tree is complete! After much searching and price comparing, you’ve found the most important holiday centerpiece for your home, but now that the box is opened and parts are strewn all over the living room you’re unsure exactly how to assemble an artificial Christmas tree. Don’t worry! When it comes to putting together artificial trees, the process is much simpler than it may seem at first glance. Before you become too overwhelmed with the included pieces and parts, follow these easy instructions to guarantee you’ll be hanging ornaments and garland in no time!

1. Choose your location.

Pick a location that is big enough for the diameter of the bottom of the tree. You’ll want to be sure the branches don’t hit the walls and won’t impede guests from walking by. Vacuum the area in preparation for the set up. Double check that the outlet in that location is operational and attach a light timer at this point, if desired.

2. Open the box and remove all parts.

Carefully open the box using a box cutter or knife without cutting too deep. You don’t want to accidentally cut the branches or lights. Remove all of the pieces included in the box, including the instructions and extra lights, if it’s a pre-lit tree. Keep all the pieces organized so as not to lose anything that may be needed later.

3. Read included instructions and follow them precisely.

Every company is different, but almost every manufacturer includes detailed instructions on how to assemble an artificial Christmas tree from their company.

4. Begin with the stand.

Check the instructions for how to assemble the stand for an artificial Christmas tree. Put the stand together completely and place it where you want the “trunk” to be.

5. Insert each section.

Take the largest section, which will be the bottom unless you purchased and upside down tree, and place the pole gently into the base. Make sure the pole has been securely inserted into the base. Refer to the provided instructions, as some trees have snaps or other security measures to provide extra stability. Insert each subsequent section on top of the other in the same manner, fluffing and separating the branches on each section as you go.

6. Connect lights.

If there are lights already strung, use the identifying tags on each plug to connect each section’s lights together. Most trees have the male and female plugs labeled either with a color or a letter tag to identify which need to be connected together. In the provided instructions on how to assemble an artificial Christmas tree, check to see if there are any special notes regarding the specific tree’s lighting connections.

7. Enjoy!

As you can see, when it comes to knowing how to assemble an artificial Christmas tree, all you need to do is follow a few key steps and refer to the instructions provided in the box. Once you successfully assemble it for the first time, assembly in the years to come becomes easier and faster. Once assembled, the fun part of decorating can begin!
