If the house has small children or homeanimals, the New Year threatens to end in a real catastrophe. The main source of danger these days is the holiday tree. Brilliant, elegant - kids and pets to her and pulls. And with the most destructive thoughts. But do not deprive yourself of the holiday and the Christmas tree! You just need to creatively approach the process. So that the tree does not collapse on the home, its first step is to be securely fastened. Do not stint on a good stand for the tree. If there is an opportunity, additionally tie the trunk with a tight line to the curtain rail. Try to do without rain and other tinsel. Your child or pet can easily swallow them, and it is already dangerous for life! Although sometimes it seems that a festively dressed cat with a second tail of serpentine is fun. No, it is better not to. Hang fragile glass toys on top of a tree, and decorate the lower branches with large plastic balls. And of course, no wires from the garlands in the access zone of kids and animals. How else can you secure the house without affecting the New Year's interior? We have ten ways.
Behind the glass

Just put the Christmas tree in the closet, light the garlands and do not forget how to close the door. New year saved! In addition, a large aquarium will help protect the Christmas tree from home invaders. Unless, of course, the fish from him have long since moved out and he stands idle
In the children's arena

Behind the fence

Over the mountain of gifts

Trimming for Christmas tree
No fences or other defensive measuresfortifications! Just cut off the lower branches of the tree. The appearance is certainly specific, but it is safe for pets. And to discourage the cat from crawling along the trunk, spray it with citrus oil or lemon juice. They say that furry creatures cannot stand such smells.
All the best from the top

Inflatable tree

With illumination, 2.1 meters high and a pump in the kit, it will cost a little more than three thousand rubles. Christmas tree is made of polyester, which means it can be washed. Great idea if there are children in the house. But hardly suitable for pets - it is very big temptation to try your claws on the Christmas tree.
On the ceiling

On the chandelier

On the wall

The only downside is that glue marks may remain on your favorite wallpaper. So, we attach thin boards to the wall. They will be the frame for our tree. We glue fir branches to them. Add some light decorations, and our tree is ready! In addition, a Christmas tree on the wall can be made from LED garland, green tinsel, or even made from cardboard. Also interesting:
