Expert designers have a unique tool for decking out Christmas trees. Their arsenal includes items that add depth, intrigue, and bring the tree to life.

The secret? Christmas tree picks and sprays. If you’re new to these varied decorations or have admired them without knowing how to use them, Christmas Central’s decorators share their insights.

What are Christmas Tree Picks?

The term Christmas pick or Christmas spray refers to tree decorations that have stems rather than hooks or strings for hanging.

Christmas picks and sprays come in diverse styles, colors, and designs that add glamour, shimmer, hues, and texture to your tree decorations.

Utilizing Picks in a Christmas Tree

Tree sprays and picks can be placed anywhere from top to bottom. Just insert the long stem of your pick into the tree branches. Secure it by twisting a small branch around the pick.

Use your picks or sprays to:

• Highlight a unique ornament
• Add a new shade to your tree décor
• Amp up your tree theme
• Introduce sparkle and texture
• Fill in gaps
• Add height to your tree
• Enhance a bow

Coordinating Christmas Picks

Christmas picks and sprays come in various styles, colors, and designs bringing glamour, shine, color, and texture to your tree décor. How can you find the right one for your tree?

Choose styles that match your tree’s look or your personal aesthetic. For example, twig and berry picks, pinecone picks, and decorations featuring birds and woodland creatures may suit a rustic or forest-themed tree. For an opulent tree, opt for glittering picks in silver and gold.

Feel free to mix different picks within your style. For example, combine twig and berry sprays on a woodland tree or amplify the bling with crystal branches and glittery gold or silver leaves and flowers.

Tips for Using Christmas Picks

Here are some pointers from Christmas Central designers for those looking to use Christmas picks and sprays.

• Items compacted during shipping may need some attention before use. Most picks and sprays have internal wires making them easy to shape.
• Some picks and sprays are fragile. Store them gently to use again next year.
• Stems can be over two feet in length. Avoid paying for unnecessary length. For instance, if using the decoration in a garland instead of a tree, opt for shorter picks to save on time, effort, and cost.

Popular Christmas Tree Pick Styles

Berries

Berry sprays and picks introduce delightful color and texture to a tree, greatly enhancing a woodland or natural décor. Arrange berry sprays in clusters throughout the tree or at a few key points. Frosted berry branches add a rustic charm blended with a hint of sparkle, while glittery berry branches provide a touch of glamour.

Twigs

Christmas sprays resembling twigs or sticks can introduce surprising texture and motion to your tree. Designers frequently let twig sprays reach out past the branches of the tree for a dynamic effect. To create a dramatic display, arrange several twig sprays vertically near the tree’s crown to boost height, or use them to frame or completely replace your star topper.
