We've gone to these and just buy a really good quality unlit tree. I've seen SO many people use a pre-lit for 2-4 years and then a section goes out and into the landfill, it goes. Seems like such a waste. Plus, pre-lits are very heavy to store. A good tree lasts almost 20 years until you tire of it & even then can easily be donated. We've noticed that lighting trends change so rapidly as technology does. These RAZ lights can be tucked into the center (as she shows) and then sometimes we'll add trendy berry lights (or whatever over top. She also recommends adding good quality picks to give the tree fullness and variety - & I will say - that makes a huge difference too. I admire her energy! I'm getting to the point where I get one tree up & I'm done! I just use smaller table top trees in other places.
Ingenious idea! I have a tree I love so much but it doesn't have a twinkle function. This will definitely add the final touch to a tree I love so much. Thank you for sharing this tip!!
I love these type of lights too, I’ve been using them for a year or two, though this year is the first time I’m ditching the Martha Stewart method of wrapping every branching back and forth for a simple laying the lights on top of each branch, then pulling/tucking a few lights to the under side.
Oh my... beautiful. I added cluster lights to my main 'Ralph Lauren' styled tree. It made it so beautiful. Thank you for the videos and tips. Gracias por Todos, Jacqueline from Michigan
Love this technique and will use it this year on my tree. I have these Raz cluster lights and they're fantastic! I use 3 44 ft strands on my 7.5 ft tree and it's beautiful. Thanks for the tip!
@Dasha-yg3om we sell them and ship them all over. Just call the shop with your address and we will get you a shipping quote. You would be surprised how cheap we can ship these lights from Amelia Island, Fl.
Ohh.. Graciasss!! Se ve muy bien esta nueva técnica.. La probaré .. Esas luces RAZ recién estan llegando a Perú.. Y Se ven lindas.. Me hubiese gustado el antes y el después.. Me encanta haberte encontrado tienes un gusto exquisito.. Tiebes una nueva seguidora dsde Lima- Perú
I LOVE these cluster lights!! They really do save TONS of time compared to the traditional lights. This year I made the mistake of crossing wires and second-year traditional lights start to burn out FAST apparently. I am in fact the person that took 100 years to light a tree.. I added 2 strands of twinkle LED lights and MAN OH MAN were those a game changer....it took 1/10th of the time to string them as it does with traditional. Where can we find those exact lights you're using, the clusters ive ordered from amazon are nowhere near the same as what I've seen professionals use.
We have been shipping the lights from our store. Otherwise, look for RAZ cluster lights. We sell them for the same price point you see on Amazon, we just lave to charge extra for shipping which is roughly $10-$15 per box.
Are cluster lights the same as micro led lights. I’m seeking for those micro led lights that I saw on a Costco pre lit tree. Can’t find those micro led lights
I use clusters, but I use them in 3 sections of my artificial tree. I never have to take them off. With this, I do have too wrap around vs the zig zag.
@@kathyw.1835 it's a 9 ft that comes apart in 3 sections. All the same length lights. I have the top section started from the top and there's lots of extra at the bottom of the strand. I have a bright piece of tape at a certain spot. When packing it up, that's where I bundle the extra. Unpacking the tree, that extra bundle gets wrapped into the middle section. It's easy to hide that piece of tape with tree decor. When it comes time too pack up the tree, I just need to find that pink tape and bundle the extra up and pack up the tree in is storage bag
Apply lights from top to bottom zig zagging through the tree. When you are putting them in the branches, only zig zag at the top in a small width. Keep getting wider as you go down. Think of 3 pizza pie slices on your tree to cover the entire tree. 🔺🌲
@@jenniferharper9040 no she hasnt but I just bought a set of 25FT cluster light and i really dont see how i would need more than one set Jeannaloveschristmas recommends we put additional lights at the heart of tree so im gonna try that technique this year
Sorry for the late response, we have several people logging in to keep up with the questions. The 44ft cluster lights are what we use on a 9 ft tree. We use 3 sets. It really depends on how bright you want your tree. We typically put 2 strands of 44ft cluster lights on a 7ft tree but we have added up to 6 strands of the 44ft cluster lights on a 9 ft tree.
Otro favor.. Mi padre ama los huevos fabergé.. Ha vomprado varios.... unos 20 d regular tamaño 12 o 13 cm aprox. para su decoracion d este año.. Yo me encargo dl armado d du arbol.. Ayúdame porfavor.. Que otras piezas me ayudarian para que ese arbol quede hermoso.. Graciassssss!!!
That’s wonderful! Fabergé eggs are very intricate. I suggest using a wide ribbon in a solid color like red and just floral picks and stems of one color added to the tree. This will help the eggs stand out. Poinsettias or Amaryllis will give a solid focal point to direct your eyes around the tree and something solid to have a visual rest between eggs. Hope this helps!
@@Ghost-un6oe to not cross the wires, zig zag the lights in a pizza pie or triangular shaped pattern from the top to the bottom getting wider and wider until you come to the bottom.
I may be having a serious blonde moment bc I looked through every comment & didn't see where anyone else mentioned what Im about to ask. Wouldn’t there be overlapping in some spots & bare in other spots bc of the pies being bigger at the bottom & smaller at the top? Unless tht 3rd pie tht she didn’t show doing was supposed to be flipped upside down? But even then I feel like its gonna be off somewhere...
Where are the videos showing this REAL Christmas trees? I heard you shouldn't wrap lights around the branches of a real tree as it can damage it and drop needles. All the videos I've seen are for fake trees!
We don’t decorate but 1 fresh tree every year. Either way, the same technique will work, weave in and out only loosely looping around every third of fourth branch just to hold in place.
Great thing about cluster lights is that they do not have to be complicated and precise. The wired lights have more lights coming off in each direction to give maximum exposure without the stringent placement and over thinking. The pre-lit manufacturer placed lights on the tree already are evenly spaced. Happy Decorating!
