Then their popularity began to fade away. But now fashion is returning again, so if you want modernity, then you can't do without festive beads for the New Year.

There are certain rules for decorating a Christmas tree with beads. And to get really beautiful, these rules must be followed. They consist in several nuances and subtleties.

4. Do not overload the tree with garlands of beads, as they will tilt the branches and the tree will no longer be fluffy. And also the amount depends on the size of the tree itself. It is clear that a small Christmas tree will need much less decorative material.

There are many design ideas. To begin with, it is recommended to decide on the color scheme. So, it depends on many factors:

• individual color preferences;

• holiday themes;

• the colors of the decorations in accordance with the symbolism of the year according to the Eastern calendar (if the symbol is a metal animal, it is rational to decorate the tree with silver beads).

Solid beads are a traditional decoration. According to the instructions, it is recommended to hang them up last (after the lights and balls). So, first you need to hang the lights, then the balls, and in the very last place it is recommended to decorate with beads. To decorate the Christmas tree beautifully, you need to start hanging the beads from the upper branches, gradually going down. It is noteworthy that if beads of different colors are used, then they should be located around the entire perimeter of the tree. Of course, you can use one color on top and another on the bottom, but it will not look so harmonious.

In order to properly decorate the Christmas tree at home, it is recommended to do the following step by step:
