Denise Willard: Hi, my name is Denise Willard with Decor by Denise and today I am here showing you how to decorate your tree for the holidays. Right now we are going to focus on the top of the tree, which is really the most important part as there is your focal point for your tree. What we are going to do is incorporate a traditional tree toper, with some fill icicle sprays to really give your tree a nice pop at the top. So, let s go ahead and apply these ingredients that to our tree and see what happens. So, we want to be very careful like I said as we apply this and push it down as pretty much as far as we can get it, to where it is really secure because it will wobble around a bed and we want to make sure it doesn t fall off the tree. So, make sure you get it as secure as you can and as straight as possible, I think that looks pretty good. So, what we want to do is start applying these guys where we can, so little bit of a change because upper part of the tree is not as wide as the base. So, just go ahead and put a few in here and do not be shy, some of the branches and some of the endpoints will stick out, but we will cover those up as we go about decorating the rest of the tree. With these you want to make sure, they are as vertical as possible, because we want to give it that vertical height. So, you can see we are starting to build this out a little bit and we will be on our way to decorating the rest of our tree. So, now this is our last one, let s just put it in here securely, make sure it s all okay and what you want to do too is spread the -- its little bit tough in here this last one here, doesn t want to go into too well.
Well, make sure they are very secure, you don t want them fall them off the tree, that is the challenge. Okay, now it s really secure, we want to make sure that we spread it out a little bit; give it a little bit of oomph and we are pretty much done. So now you can see what a pretty tree toper we have. We have got a little traditional twist, with some of the new elements that we talked about and that makes it really beautiful for our pop at the top and that s toping your tree.
