Christmas Tree Decorating Tool

thingiverse

The Christmas Tree Decorating Tool is a straightforward device, remarkably simple yet incredibly effective when decorating a Christmas Tree, particularly fibre optic Christmas Trees as it prevents the trees' needles and fibre optic strands from being folded back. Folded-back tree needles appear messy and folded-back fibre optic strands mean the light coming from the strands is not visible at the ends of the branches; they need to be kept relatively straight to be properly visible and look good. The tool functions by working as a sleeve that slides onto the Christmas Tree branches. Simply bunch up the needles (and fibre optic strands) near the tip, slip on the tool over the bunched needles and strands, then pass the Christmas Tree decoration string over the tool – it slips on easily (about 50mm onto the branch). Then remove the tool, leaving the decoration in place without any bunched or folded-back needles/fibre optic strands. You might wonder why bother, but this simple little tool is a genuine time-saver and makes your Christmas Tree look better with ease. This print is very straightforward – quick and easy to use. You can use it once a year then store it away for next year. When you print one, please send photos and comments on how it worked for you in the interests of other members. It helped me decorate my fibre optic tree quickly and overcame the usual issue with fibre optic strands being held back so they didn't emit light at the ends of the branches as they should.
