does anyone know how to keep a tree topper upright**? I finally got round to putting the tree up, and the topper is driving me mad.

 

** please dont say duct tape - its not a good look.

 

Happy Christmas to all

 

thanks

How about a piece of thin wire tied to the top of the tree?

My vote for the most off-topic topic thread of the week....

 

How about filling it with material like paper or foam and ramming it on? 

 

Of course it would help if you could post the make of the tree, the topper and of course what operating system you're running on? Is this pay monthly or PAYG? Have you tried calling CS about it? Failing that, you could start up a facebook group and a twitter campaign to find out how.

No more nails does the job pretty well:)

Or a bit of welding if you have the right materials:)

How about bend the tree top In half then sit it on that? (What I do)

thanks all - your suggestions gave me a chuckle, even if I didnt actually use any of them.

Following a brief but glittery wrestling match, the tree topper and I have come to some kind of understanding. It is wedged on and holding...so far!

 

Happy Christmas to all
