Woman shows off smart hack to filling pesky gaps in your Christmas tree and people are hailing her a genius

IT’s about that time of the year when we’re all putting up our Christmas tree’s.

Whether you’ve got one stored in your attic or you're buying one at a Christmas market, you’re going to want your tree to look its best.

Sometimes it can be difficult to gauge exactly how your tree will look until it's up and fully decorated.

And whilst some of us may struggle with over decorating some of us find ourselves with too little decorations.

If you find yourself with those pesky gaps in your Christmas tree and not enough ornaments to fill them with then this is the hack for you.

ElleighBelle is a fashion and lifestyle influencer online.

In a recent video online she shared a hack for filling some very obvious gaps in her Christmas tree.

She said: “No where near finished with my tree… but… kind of shocked and amazed by my stealthy little balloon maneuver.”

Elleigh’s hack is simple.

Fill up a balloon about the size of your gaps.

Place the balloon in the hole making sure the opening of the balloon is hidden from sight.

You’ll want to make sure your balloon is sitting firmly on a branch as well so it doesn’t fall.

And of course be careful not to place any sharp or pointed ornaments near your balloons.

This easy hack can be adapted to suit your Christmas colours as well as you can pick any colour balloon you like.

Placing the balloons this way makes them look like huge baubles or part of your decorations.

With balloons firmly in place no one will ever know your tree has gaps.
