You can decorate a Christmas tree without even having a tree, as long as you have a wire frame in the shape of a cone.
Here are the steps for how to decorate a wire frame Christmas tree, whether big or small.

First, select a wire frame that is the height you require.
Make sure it will be stable once the weight of all of the Christmas ornaments and decorations are attached.
Ensure that there are plenty of hanging options so your wire frame can be completely covered in ornaments, lights, and/or other decorations.

Pattern
The most interesting wire frame Christmas trees are decorated in a pattern.
It can be a swirl pattern, a dot pattern, a striped pattern, a random pattern, a color gradient, or whatever pattern you desire.
Design your pattern prior to decorating your Christmas tree.

Will your wire frame Christmas tree have a theme?
The Theme can be the 12 days of Christmas where the 12th day is at the bottom and the first day is at the top.
It can be musical instruments, stars, angels, Santa, Disney, princess, zebra, feathers, crystals, pearls, items found in nature, winter wonderland, or whatever you can dream up.
Color Scheme
Select a color scheme for your wire frame Christmas tree.
Christmas is dominated by the colors red and green, so why not select a more modern or less predictable color combination when decorating your wire frame Christmas tree.
Other more contemporary colors include peacock blue, teal green, lime green, navy, lemon yellow, bright orange, and magenta.

Lights are probably the most important element when decorating a wire frame Christmas tree.
You can use all white lights with light-up decorations or make the lights form a beautiful pattern.
You can use large lights, medium lights, small lights, or mini lights.
Using a combination of Christmas light sizes can create a beautiful textural effect.
Ornaments
Don't forget the ornaments on your wire frame Christmas tree.
You can use traditional ornaments or ornaments that illuminate.
The larger your wire frame Christmas tree, the larger the ornaments should be.
Christmas Tree Topper
A Christmas tree topper is optional, but it provides the finishing touch on top of your wire frame Christmas tree.
