Step 3: Fluffing the Branches
For a full and realistic appearance, it is crucial to properly fluff each branch. This process involves separating and shaping the individual tips on each branch.
- Starting from the bottom section, work your way up the tree.
- Gently pull apart each individual branch tip, spreading them outwards and upwards to fill any gaps.
- Bend the smaller branches to create a natural, layered look.
- For the 6ft tree, fluffing typically takes approximately 30-45 minutes to achieve the desired fullness.
