Q: I see you design Christmas trees with faux stems and branches. How do you mix them and how do I know how many to get for my tree?

A: I'm a huge fan of stems and picks! Use them to fill gaps and add some texture and depth to your tree. While it's personal preference on how full you'd like it to be, we recommend a minimum of 10 stems or picks per style to cover your tree.
