Easiest Way To Put Up Christmas Tree Lights

I share the easy way to add lights on a christmas tree.

Easiest way to put up christmas tree lights.

Try to avoid any obvious pattern or spiral. Plug the first strand of lights into an electrical outlet. Use an extension cord to connect the first set of string lights and work your way from the top of the tree to the bottom. If your tree is really wide divide it into fifths or even sixths.

If the tree was not up against a wall i would have added 600 extra lights total to the entire tree. Think front two sides and back. This eliminates the long strand of extra lights that would normally go from the tree to the wall outlet. Leave them on while you work so you can see how they look on the tree.

Starting at the bottom of the tree and working your way up until you reach the end of the light strand. Run an extension cord from the power outlet to the base of the tree and begin putting in lights from the base to the top of the tree. I tried using 4 zip tiesat first but found that 6 ties work way better. Cover more tree in sparkle with fewer lights by working the.

Begin at the bottom of the tree making sure you have left enough slack for the plug on the strand to reach an extension cord or electrical outlet. 2 weave the lights back and forth across the triangular section placing them about 3 5 inches away from the tip of the branches. You want the lights to look natural. The easy way that i put lights on those trees i am going to cover here.

To attach the lights start at the end with the plug and work your way down the line making sure to keep your pipe sections in order and remembering to leave spaces of line where you need to. Starting at the bottom string your lights around and through the tree in a random fashion. But since part of the tree is against the wall i only added about 400 additional lights. Step 1 depending on how wide full your tree is artificial or real divide it into fourths quadrants.

Slowly coil the string of lights around the tree and start weaving the lights in and out of the branches. This tree is 9 feet tall. Here are the before and after pictures.
