[@manestage5403]

A channel that is ONLY about Christmas tree decorating??? I’ve been preparing for this *subbing* since the infancy of KZbin! 😂

[@VeryMerryKim]

Welcome to the merriest (and greatest) place on the internet!!

[@carolealexander-dq5ht]

thanks for 3.00pm tree fluffing I wish you were here I'm trying but it isn't as easy as you make it look I'll be here forever fluffing this same tree you fluffing great video but I think I'll be here for a long while maybe days lol happy holidays from Carole in Savanah Georgia please come help my 65 year old I was happy with my small tree on table but my 8 year old decided she wanted a bigger one that stands up calgon take me away 😂

[@VeryMerryKim]

I decorate a lot of trees, so I have a lot of fluffing practice. It gets easier though! You could also recruit your 8 year old to help 😉 and remember, it doesn't have to be perfect.

[@KnewEyes1990]

Wow I'm sitting here about to put my tree together and found your video..I've never seen someone explain how to fluff a tree as good as you just did!..My tree will be looking so good.. Thank You♡

[@VeryMerryKim]

Oh yay! I'm so happy to help!

[@tashagarland6520]

Same! ❤

[@LisaL20000]

I've NVR seen anyone explain how to flouf. Much appreciated

[@LisaL20000]

And flouf is definitely a word in my regular vocabulary.

[@Moms2good]

Sooo helpful! You’re great at demonstrating and explaining this. Perfect job and your humour is entertaining!

[@NormaRinker]

Thank you! My charlie brown tree is only three feet tall and I can't believe how much trouble I was having. You really helped me! Happy Christmas!

[@VeryMerryKim]

Oh yay! I've got this one about small trees, if it's not too late ☺️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5XUqnmdaLKrotU Happy Christmas!!

[@NormaRinker]

@VeryMerryKim you're the best!

[@CT-ow8wy]

Oh my goodness! This made such a huge difference for our tree! Thank you so much. It was so nice to have a method to the madness. 😂

[@VeryMerryKim]

You are so welcome!!💚

[@kimberleywynbergen7515]

Thank you for this! I learned so much and had a few giggles. Just finished putting up my tree for 2023 christmas and it's the best one I've ever done. 🎄

[@VeryMerryKim]

Oh yay!! And thank you for your kind words. Christmas trees are supposed to be fun, so I always aim to create some joy 💚

[@marywalker1060]

I just took off my Christmas ornaments and I didn't fluff my tree very good, but I'm going to fluff it now because I'm turning it into a valentines day love tree, all my ornaments, hearts, roses etc. Are layed out on kitchen table, I'm so happy I found your video cuz I'm going to fluff it now, it will look so much better thank you

[@VeryMerryKim]

I have a couple videos making Valentine's day trees! They're super fun!

[@africo9104]

Yesterday I bought a tree like this , I've always had a real tree before and the kids used to decorte it. Today I started putting the tree up, wow, what a mess, I quickly drove to the shop to take a photo of how the shop had put it up, back home I was no wiser, started from the top on a chair , then I thought to see what's on KZbin , and Lo and behold here you were Kim, now I'll take my tree apart and start from the bottom. Many thanks from a 73 year young one 🤣😂😅

[@VeryMerryKim]

I'm super impressed you've used real trees until now! And your first artificial tree can be really overwhelming. I bet you'll make it beautiful though!

[@JanineCeleste]

Excellent video! Thank you! I've been doing it all wrong for decades, no wonder I dread putting up my tree every year, and I only put up a little 4 foot cashmere tree, which is already pretty fluffy. Lol You were awesome and your instructions were on point. I just spent 2 hours watching instructional videos and nobody, at least of the videos I chose, actually said, "2 to the side, 1 up". They either said nothing and demonstrated only, or didn't have good verbal instruction. You are amazing. I'm going to fluff my tree now! (the right way.)

[@VeryMerryKim]

You weren't doing it wrong... just differently! And I have a 3 foot cashmere tree, they can be a pain! But they look so beautiful!

[@Matt_spalding82]

Idk how I found your channel, but I'm so glad I did! We just bought our first tree in over 6 years and are so excited to decorate it! Girl when I saw the dolly I was like uhhhhhh subscribe! That's the smartest thing I've seen in a long time! We like to move ours around because our house is small and we need to be flexible with space! My wife and I can't wait to watch more of your videos

[@VeryMerryKim]

I've got a link for my dolly in the description! It's the best!! I'm so glad you found me!

[@Aline-p4y]

Thank you, I finished to fix my Christmas tree

[@VeryMerryKim]

Thank you so much! And you're so very welcome!!

[@taraclem2106]

Very helpful! Having a "floofing" pattern makes so much sense! Thank you!

[@lynknower]

Where has this video been all my life?!

[@stephaniesteele5183]

Thank you for going into so much detail and explaining things clearly! It helped so much!!! Merry Christmas! 🎄 💕

[@VeryMerryKim]

I'm so glad it helped! Merry Christmas!!

As I know myself from now on I will mantra two out one up for years as I floof my tree ❤ Thank you 😊

[@beebakay]

This is so detailed and well explained! Thank you!!!

[@jenmcpherson253]

Holy moly I am so glad I watched this the night before putting up tree!! Wow what a difference - great vid Kim thankyou!! Also followed your "overachiever method" for light hanging and it's fantastic! ❤️

[@VeryMerryKim]

Christmas trees are the only time I approve of overachieving!

[@ashleynelson6182]

This is awesome!!! I’ve been fluffing my tree wrong since I started! Lol but this helped so much! Thanks a lot!!!!

[@VeryMerryKim]

You didn't do it wrong... You did it differently 😉

[@AOimortal117]

Amazing! I took photos before and after “fluffing” the tree and it looks incredible, really good tutorial, greetings from mexico

[@willowgray9287]

This is SO helpful!!!! ❤

[@c0rnelette]

I thought I was the only person that said floof instead of fluff! 👍🏽🙌🏽👏🏽

[@VeryMerryKim]

Floofing is much more fun than fluffing 😆

[@minajoka7413]

Thank you so much , no more empty spots in my tree 🥰

[@Janelegant]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I'm going to floof my Christmas tree now :)

[@silly-yamo]

Floof is a better word anyway ♡ My mom is making me floof my tree myself this year and I needed this! Thanks! ♡❆

[@VeryMerryKim]

You're going to do great!

[@jamesgentry953]

Merry Christmas❤

[@brendabennett2439]

Thankyou, I found that very useful.

[@VeryMerryKim]

You're welcome 💚 I'm so happy it helped!

[@zenmorrison7699]

This just saved me from tears hahaha thank you

[@VeryMerryKim]

No tears! Christmas trees are supposed to be fun!

[@valerielindsley4181]

Love this! Would you use the same technique for a prelit tree?

[@VeryMerryKim]

Yep! The only difference is you'll have cords, so you just have to pay attention that you're not looping branches through them or something. I've found it's pretty much the same as a non-lit though.

[@chelseabailey2797]

Thanks for the video!!!

[@Debgymforlife]

sooo helpfullllll thank you so much!!!

[@VeryMerryKim]

You're so welcome!! 💚

[@benkoster6334]

you made perfect sense

[@VeryMerryKim]

Oh good. I always worry that I don't, so thank you!!

[@patxizabaljauregui2543]

I’ve done my fair bit of fluffing and have failed numerous times miserably. This is the most amazing video on tree floofing and I just can’t wait to try it. Hoping to get my tree to look fuller after this. Massive thank you and yeah I just subscribed 🫶🏻

[@VeryMerryKim]

Oh!! I'm SO glad this was helpful!

[@RaylondaRogers]

Omg!!! So helpful!

[@georgehickman648]

Got a new faux snow tree. I'm here for the floofing. However, how do i de-floof so it'll fit bk in the box? Im no wrestler 😂. Thankyou very much for share, been staring at the still-boxed tree, scratching my skull. 🇬🇧 ❤ 🎅

[@VeryMerryKim]

Haha, no need to wrestle! I give each section a super big hug, squishing all that I can, then I lay the section in the box and squish squish squish! It will eventually fit. If I find a better technique, I'll let you know!

[@georgehickman648]

@VeryMerryKim so it's all about the floof & the squish technique 🤣. Thankyou ❤️

[@candilla8702]

I love Christmas trees also 😁

[@royalblueocean2642]

Sparkle on indeed

[@flyingtiger2212]

so helpful! thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

[@disclosed1]

Do you have a video on how you mounted your tree on a dolly?

[@VeryMerryKim]

I don't 🙁 I can make a KZbin Short, if that would help. It's SUPER simple though. I just set it right on top of the platform on the dolly. I don't secure it or anything.

[@lelyluck]

I just don’t like how my tree’s needles have flattened out or crinkled up. Do you have any tips for that?

[@VeryMerryKim]

Sometimes a more expensive tree won't have that problem, which isn't much help I know 🙁 And a "cashmere" style Christmas tree will have stiffer/fluffier bristles. The best tip for your existing tree would be to make sure you're super careful when you put it away, smoothing everything as best you can to prevent crinkled branches. Sorry I'm not much help there!

[@bridgetdavis9752]

I'm entering a contest and your videos are the best help. Thank you!

[@VeryMerryKim]

Oh yay! Good luck!!

[@smbarone2000]

I'm in assembling and floofing mode and found your video. Wish I'd seen this sooner. I didn't wear gloves. So smart. About minute 8:54, I thought I saw a spider coming down to join you or it decided to get its 15-minutes of fame on your camera. It might have been light though. Thank you for all these great tips and tricks.

[@VeryMerryKim]

The nice thing about Christmas is, there's always next year! And it very well could have been a spider. They flock to me, haha. Then again, I never dust. So... It could have been that.

[@YvetteHawkins-t7u]

It help me out a lot

[@jacobbecicka2291]

Could you expand on the angle that you bend the branches and if that changes as you get closer to the front of the tree? Do you go more up down in the back and then forward as you get closer or stay up and down?

[@VeryMerryKim]

I think I do bring them a little more forward as I go out. I just try to make them look as natural as possible on the far ends of the branches.

[@jacobbecicka2291]

@@VeryMerryKimthanks. I’m working on our new BH tree and while it’s beautiful 2500 tree ends takes a while.

[@lxixkrunch5143]

Just found your channel. Was wondering what you'd recommend for ornaments on the tree. Especially for kids

[@VeryMerryKim]

Shatterproof for sure, if you want the traditional Christmas balls. You should be safe if you keep things plastic instead of glass. And honestly, if you wire things to your tree, instead of using regular hooks, things won't fall off. I talk about it in my ornament video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKDJh6lqftSlqtE Hope that helps!

[@lxixkrunch5143]

@@VeryMerryKim thank you

[@heathershumway2363]

Is it easier for pre lit trees to plug in your lights before you shape it?

[@VeryMerryKim]

That'll depend on the person. For some, it's easier to see unfluffed spots with lights on, for others it'll be easier with them off. I fluff with lights on because it can be easier to get to the plugs if it's the kind of tree where you have to plug the sections into each other.

[@marlisgarycarlson5525]

I've been doing the two out/one up for years with our tree. Then my wife got a new tree this year. And the manufacturer threw me with a new wrinkle. Instead of three stems at each point, this one has FOUR stems. So there I was trying to figure out two out/two up, or two out/one up and one down? I finally settled on two out and two up, each at a 47.5 degree angle to the "out" stems. It took a lot longer having to use a protractor while floofing. So, Expert Kim, do you think that was the right thing to do? My inquiring mind wants to know.

[@VeryMerryKim]

If you like how it looks, it was the right thing to do! If it doesn't look the way you want it to, I would try 3 out 1 up, or 2 out 1 up 1 somewhere in between up and out, if that makes sense 😂

[@amandatomas708]

Thank you so much. I just finally got my first big Christmas tree and I was like 😑😑😑😑

@@VeryMerryKim YES INDEED, IT DEFINITELY IS 💖

[@africo9104]

I see that you only do 2 up one down, do you not point any one down ? Is that OK ?

[@VeryMerryKim]

That's why I say the two up and one out is where I start. After I do a branch I move things around until it looks how I like. Sometimes that means I angle one down. Try not to overthink. I promise your tree will be beautiful!

[@darrylclifton6153]

Nobody sucks at decorating. If she's enjoying herself, she's doing it right 🙂

[@aishahiggins4795]

Thank you so much going to do this. I wish I could have seen it all decorated.

You're so welcome! I'm glad it helped! I've got a couple videos of this tree decorated. Here's my latest: kzbin.info/www/bejne/amW2m4doi8Sjnqc

[@EvaraLia]

If you’re propping it against a wall, like you had planned to do with this one, would you floof those branches still? I’m planning on doing that this year since space is now a concern but I want my big tree up.

[@VeryMerryKim]

If I'm attaching them up against the tree, I might floof some, but only to the side. Like two out, one up, but no up. If I'm leaving the branches down, then I'd floof normally. It'll help the tree look fuller.

[@KeysLady]

You are hilarious 😅

[@VeryMerryKim]

Why, thank you!!

Did you say that you were very merry" or "very married" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@VeryMerryKim]

I probably said Very Merry, but I'm also very married, so either works 😂

I had no idea you were meant to fluff the tree… no wonder it looked so garbage 😂

You'd be surprised how many people don't fluff!

This is the worst part of Christmas lol. I wish there was a... pre fluffed tree

I think there are... But they're VERY expensive 😂

[@rachelleline1426]

Am i the only one who doesn't wear gloves when doing this?

[@VeryMerryKim]

I think most people don't wear gloves. I just got so tired of my hands getting scratched up! I would also guess those of us making Christmas tree videos wear gloves because we decorate more trees than most people.
