Using these artificial Christmas trees is a breeze. First, find a nice spot for them, like near the doorway, on the fireplace mantel, or a tabletop. You can leave them as they are or add your own lights and decorations. To shape the trees, gently bend the branches where you want them, and it should take about 20 - 30 minutes per tree. Remember, they're flame retardant, but for safety, keep them away from naked flames. When the holiday season is over, store them in a dry place. You can use them again next year because they're made of tough PVC plastic that will last.
