For moderate lighting use six boxes of 100 light strands for a 6 foot christmas tree and eight boxes for an 8 foot tree.
Easiest way to put up christmas tree lights.
Slowly coil the string of lights around the tree and start weaving the lights in and out of the branches.
Cover more tree in sparkle with fewer lights by working the.
Here are the before and after pictures.
I tried using 4 zip tiesat first but found that 6 ties work way better.
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.
You want the lights to look natural.
This eliminates the long strand of extra lights that would normally go from the tree to the wall outlet.
I share the easy way to add lights on a christmas tree.
Leave them on while you work so you can see how they look on the tree.
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.
If your tree is really wide divide it into fifths or even sixths.
But since part of the tree is against the wall i only added about 400 additional lights.
Before you start plug in the lights to checks if all the bulbs are working.
The easy way that i put lights on those trees i am going to cover here.
Starting at the bottom of the tree and working your way up until you reach the end of the light strand.
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.
Think front two sides and back.
If the tree was not up against a wall i would have added 600 extra lights total to the entire tree.
This tree is 9 feet tall.
Plug the first strand of lights into an electrical outlet.
Step 1 depending on how wide full your tree is artificial or real divide it into fourths quadrants.
2 weave the lights back and forth across the triangular section placing them about 3 5 inches away from the tip of the branches.
