The Perfect Tree Workbook
A full, designer-looking tree, made with the ornaments you already own.
A professional decorator's step-by-step workbook to plan your tree, buy only what's missing and decorate it in layers, even if you've never decorated a tree like this before.
- Know how many ornaments, lights and yards of ribbon your tree needs, by height
- Count what's already in your boxes, then shop with a list
- Decorate in the designer's order, from the big pieces to the last pick
Sound familiar?
- You open the boxes and wonder: do I have enough ornaments?
- You buy more every year, and the tree still looks a little thin.
- The ribbon looks stretched and flat instead of full and draped.
- It never quite looks like the trees you save on Pinterest.
It's rarely the ornaments. It's the plan, and the order they go on.
Designers don't start by hanging ornaments. They plan the tree, count what they have, prepare the branches and the lights, then decorate in layers and step back for a final review. This workbook walks you through that same order, one page at a time.
Six steps, in the order a decorator works
Step 1: Plan
Choose the tree, your style and a palette that fits your room.
Step 2: Shop smart
Count what you own, subtract it, and buy only what's missing.
Step 3: Prepare the base
Fluff the branches and place the lights before a single ornament goes on.
Step 4: Decorate in layers
Big pieces, topper, medium ornaments, ribbon, small ornaments, picks.
Step 5: The designer review
Step back, fill the gaps and set the scene around the tree.
Step 6: Save your method
Take it down with care and keep a record for next year.

- So you don't buy what you already own
- A list to take to the store or shop online with
- Priorities, for when the budget is tight
