How to shape decorative picks and sprays: Shape the pine sprigs the same as an artificial Christmas tree with a gentle curve. Select this link for more information from our Artificial Christmas Tree Shaping Guide. Shape each leaf with a gentle curve. Curve them up from underneath to give the leaf more fullness. The flower petals also need to have a natural gentle curve and then placed into their proper place within the flower. The flower petals usually overlap each other. Shape each flower to look natural. Gently arrange the leaves, flowers and any berries, so that they can be seen when the wreath is hanging. Spread out any decorative berries, cones, etc. so they highlight the wreath. You don’t want everything in a big clump. The flowers and leaves should look real and natural like they were just picked from the garden. Be careful with woody pieces and twigs, they can snap easily. For a predominantly grapevine type decorative pick or spray, shape and arrange any leaves or berries but don’t try to move the grapevines themselves, you could break the vines.
How to use decorative picks in a Christmas tree: Adding decorative picks and garlands to a Christmas tree truly enhances the look and character of the tree. For some real woody trees decorative picks and garlands can be the only decorations added to the tree. The very first thing you do is completely shape your tree.

You will need about 7 of each item for a 7.5 ft tree and 9 for a 9ft tree and so on, it looks better if you use an odd number of decorative picks or ornaments. What you do is stand about 10 ft away from your tree and squint your eyes as you look at your tree. You will see all the large holes, or areas where large decorations will fit. You want to use decorative picks and sprays and other large ornaments to fill any spots where you can see all the way into the tree trunk. Put the decorative picks, sprays and ornaments into the hole or spot that needs to be filled. Some of them will go deeper into the tree than others. This gives dimension to the tree. Don’t put two of the same object next to each other. Stager them around the tree. Add the decorative picks and sprays first then add one style of large ornament at a time. You are not trying to completely cover the tree, you are filling in gaps or spots that need highlighting. Later after you have added all of your other smaller ornaments you can add a tinsel trim, such as our, gold silver or white, glitter rain. These are decorative picks that go into the tree at the very last. They have long glitter streamers, that hang down like rain, around the outside edge of the tree. You can add as many or as few as you like to highlight your Christmas tree.
