IT'S the start of December and if you haven't yet already, you will probably put up your Christmas tree this weekend.

To make sure the tree looks as glam and festive as possible, a group of decorating experts has come up with an easy hack – and it costs absolutely nothing.

By now, you will probably know that baubles and other ornaments keep twisting and turning on the branches, ruining the overall look.

But according to the gurus at Decorators Warehouse, from Texas, the US, there is a simple trick that will keep them hanging straight.

Uploading the hack on Instagram, the experts explained that rather than just putting them onto the branch, you should place them as normal and then wrap it around over and over again.

In the video, the pros said: ''If it's a regular ornament, wrap the string around the branch for a more "layering" look instead of hanging.

Someone else agreed, wondering: ''wait w*f why did I never think of that.''

However, many also pointed out to a downfall – removing the ornaments may prove to be a challenge.

Seeing the trick, an Instagram user said: ''Wait til you have to take all those off the tree!!!Just use hook or wire.''

''Taking them off is the hard part ,'' a second reckoned.

As most of us are looking forward to decorate the tree, one bloke recently revealed how to do it properly, claiming it'll be loads easier to remove the lights later.

The game-changing trick was shared by a fellow fan of Christmas, Cory (@christmascory), and has since been a hit on TikTok.

According to the man, believed to be from the US, you shouldn't be putting your festive lights on the Christmas tree in a zig-zag motion going around it.

Instead, Cory recommended in his video to swap this for going up and down with the sparkly lights.

To make sure the decoration remains secure, he also went around a few branches twice – this will make it more sturdy and less likely to fall off.

If you notice you're running out of lights, don't go all the way up – you can later fill in the empty spaces with either candles or other festive decorations, such as stunning baubles.

Cory, who was impressed with the results, said: ''That's it – up and down the tree.
