Learn About Freelance Christmas Tree Shaping
• Independent contractors shape artificial Christmas trees in retail locations like Home Depot and BJ’s Wholesale. • The project takes place in late September and October. • Store assignments are based on location and availability. • Trees can be shaped anytime the retailer is open, including evenings and weekends, during a specified window of time. • Compensation is determined per store and varies by the size of the display. Pay is based on the number of tree tips, not the time spent in the store. • The amount of time spent in the store varies, but most designers take 8 – 10 hours to complete a smaller display and 10 – 14 hours for larger displays. • The project is tree shaping, not decorating. • Floral and/or merchandising experience is strongly preferred, but not required.
