Ensure that you make use of garlands only after you finished adorning your tree with the rest of the embellishments. This is because garlands are generally used to give a final addition to Christmas tree.

By making an assortment of expensive ornaments with the cheaper ones, you can create a better impact by your Christmas tree decorations.
