"You might remember the popular cottagecore-style bow trees that took over for the past couple of years, and the bejeweled trend isn't so far off. But instead of adorning branches with bows, it calls for decorating with strings of faux pearls and other glitzy touches that make your tree feel super luxurious. Want to get the luxe look? Here's how I created my own bejeweled tree last year, and what I learned to make it even better this year."
"Starting with one strand, I looped the end around one branch a few times to secure it, allowed it to drape down a bit, secured it on another branch nearby, then cut the end of the strand with scissors. I would repeat this several times until the swoop had several strands, being sure to alter the length of the drape so the strands fanned out a bit from each other."
Two main decorating preferences exist: repeating favorite pieces or regularly changing elements. The bejeweled tree trend uses faux pearl strings and glitzy accents for a luxurious look. Start by adding white lights, then drape pearls in multi-stranded “swoops” by looping and securing strands to branches. Vary the drape lengths so strands fan slightly and create layered swoops. Alternatively, wrap the pearls like garland but leave generous slack for a draped effect. After arranging the pearls, hang translucent Champagne-colored glass balls to complete the luxe bejeweled aesthetic.
