Save the Christmas tree from children & pets: Useful tips to keep it intact.
Whether you have been decorating for days or you are getting ready to decorate now, here you will find useful tips on how to keep your Christmas tree safe from a baby taking its first steps or your adorable pet that insists on destroying it.
Fence to maintain distances
Instead of putting the baby inside to protect it, you will put the tree and leave the baby outside. It is a good way to save both the tree from collapse and dissolution in general, and the baby, who wants to pull ornaments, branches, and lights, putting its physical integrity at risk.
If you don't have a large dog or cat that will jump on top, it is a good solution for your beloved pet, who insists on chewing on the ornaments.
An alternative tree that no one can reach
To avoid the stress of dismantling the tree, as well as the potential injury to the baby, you can decorate a tree-umbrella, a palm tree, or a wooden tree this year, which you will place on the wall at a height that the baby cannot reach or on top of a piece of furniture.
This solution is also ideal for pets. A tree placed in a location that the animal cannot reach means a safe tree.
Many small trees in hard-to-reach places
In the same logic, you can decorate many small fir trees, which you will place on furniture and shelves and will give a unique style to the Christmas decoration of your home! If no one reaches them, no one will be able to destroy them.
Decorate a boat for tradition
This year, you can follow the classic tradition and decorate your own little boat, making a difference and at the same time protecting your little destroyer from branches, breaking balls, and hanging lights.
DIY Christmas tree
You can unleash your creativity and imagination and create a handmade "tree" on the wall of your living room, placed high on the wall. Use garlands, wood, branches, lights, and ornaments to give a special style to your space.
Take your precautions!
If you want to decorate the classic tree, you can do it, taking into account some safety tips:
- Place boxes with books around the tree (they should be heavy so they don't move), wrapped in Christmas wrapping paper, so that the baby does not have direct access to the tree.
- Choose plastic, paper, wooden or fabric ornaments, so you don't have to worry about them breaking, and instead of hooks, use colorful ribbons.
- Put bells at the bottom, so you know when someone has reached out their hands or feet to the branches, in case you turn your back for a moment.
- Choose a tree with built-in lighting so you don't have cables inside that can be pulled, bringing the tree down.
- Do not use garlands, pearls, fake snow and other things that wrap around the tree, for obvious reasons.
