Ok, I live in Florida so artificial trees are really hard to take care of because they dry out and get brown almost instantly. So we have always had artificial trees. There isn't anything wrong with that except that it is nearly impossible to make the artificial trees look as pretty and full as the pictures on the box. If anyone knows of a website that has instructions on how to best acheive fullness or any tips of theire own please, any input is great!

I don't see anything wrong with buying some green garland, several packages that are 9 feet in length. You could use some of it to wrap around the trunk portion, and use the rest as "filler" . You could drape it along the branches and that would certainly make your tree appear fuller.
There is a show on HGTV, "Room by Room", and the hosts of the show have wonderful suggestions for decorating a Christmas Tree. I imagine if you visit the HGTV website, click on their show, you will find a wealth of information about decorating your tree.

The first thing I do when I decorate my tree is wrap each individual branch with lights. It takes a long time but it's worth it. It gives the tree depth and hides all of those wires. I probably have between 1500 & 2000 lights on my tree.
The next day I start putting the ornaments on the tree. There is no rule that says you can only have 1 ornament per branch. I have 2 or even three ornaments on each branch. With a 9' tree that is a lot or ornaments. It takes me 2 to 3 evenings to decorate my tree, and I rearrange and "tweek" the ornaments until I get it just right.

When you assemble your artificial tree, you must arrange the branches of the tree. This will give the tree the fullness and beauty of the picture on the outside. I love my artificial tree and it takes me all day to set it up and "fluff" the branches. It is 7 1/2 feet tall. The next day I decorate it. It is worth the effort as I have had people ask me where I bought such a beautiful real tree.

If you do not have a full tree, consider replacing the one you have after the season (when they are 75% off).
That being said, when we had a "thin" tree, we filled it with hundreds of ornaments and lights. It will fill out the tree to the point that you can not see through it. You can even buy greenery from somewhere like Michaels, Hobby Lobby or Garden Ridge and use that to fill in the holes.

You know you have to fluff, and sometimes I have to bend the branches so it will cover up the empty spaces, and it really looks full. And if that doesn't work, just cover the empty spaces with ornaments. sorry that i don't know a website. hope this helped some.
