Droopy Christmas Tree Branches!

[Tuffcookie]

My 2nd Christmas Tree is a cheap one fromm K-Mart (Martha Stewart prelit) The branches are connected to the trunk with what appears as hinges. However, the hinges do not support the branches very well and I have droopy branches all over the place. Does anyone else have this problem and how do you get the branches to stay up? There does not seem to be a way to adjust the hinges.

We have something of a similar problem, same brand of tree (except ours wasn't cheap - $299 on sale).

One of the branches has come out of the hing, and I can't find the piece that holds it in. I would write/e-mail the company, but I lost the instruction pamplet.

Not sure what to do - DH may have to get creative for a fix.
