I just found the perfect hack to make a sparse Christmas tree look fuller – and it’s both easy and budget-friendly

A red hallway with a staircase decorated for Christmas with a large full Christmas tree.

Christmas trees that are on the sparser side tend to look quite sad and, dare I say, cheap.

The best artificial Christmas trees are usually full and bushy as the branch tip count tends to be directly tied to their quality and price tag – the higher the count the better the look but often also the higher the price.
