How To Put Lights On A Christmas Tree Video - Christmas Tree Decorating Tips 

Takes me hours! They have to be right! Nightmare! Haha!

I’m putting my tree up right now. Perks of having your own place, you make the rules. 😂

I going to start mine on Tuesday

@@susanh7049 Have fun!! Play some Christmas music in the background to get into the spirit! 😊

Mines not up BUT it’s sitting here in front of me in it’s box screaming “PUT ME UP”!!!! Lol. And your right…… this years been a disaster for sure. Just b4 the pandemic started we lost our home to a fire……then C-19 and the world shut down…… having “issues” w/my sister and just found out a month ago that my mother may not make it til the end of the year. So yes 2020 can be summed up in one word: DISASTER! 🎄🎄🎄 hoping for a better 2021! Merry (early) Christmas y’all. 🌟🎄🎁🌟

I want to start decorating now too lol

Awe thats so great.. gl on your tree decor☺

@Felicity J Sorry to hear that. Great to see you stepping it up and keeping the holiday spirit. Hang in there I have been there too. Take care

I had thought of getting a prelit tree but didn't, how many years did the lights on the prelit tree last?

@@danseabreeze1404 they lasted at least 7 years on my last tree- but i would squish the tree back in the box every year so i think maybe i broke them that way- but for convenience it was great, lower cost and super brightly lit. There were so many lights to choose from-for my real tree😮 was confusing, but i ended up with some lights that were only 2.50 a box 100lights/ 21 ft cord. Good deal. I used the 100 lights per foot of tree rule and my tree looks great❤ Have. Wonderful Holiday Dan! 🎅

@@s.l.s.l.1405Thank you happy holidays!

S.L. S.L. Same and here i am frustrated trying to figure out how to make them look nice

🤣

Hi Marie! Yes you could. The only reason I use smaller strands is because if something happens to a larger strand, the entire strand is unusable but if you have 3 - 100 light strands and one stops working, you still can use the other two :)

Thanks Linda! I'm only stringing one strand at a time. These strands are fresh out of the box and the lights are closer together because they are still "accordion" from being tied in the box. I usually don't stretch the strands straight and just let that accordion look work into the tree :) -Christopher

Thank you so much ))

I'm glad I saw your comment, because I wanted to ask the same question 🤔❓

Thanks Bard! I used incandescent string lights from Menards - sorry I can't remember the brand. Menards has great regular & twinkling lights :) - Christopher

Hi Marj, If you reach the top of the tree with lights left over, and the tree is against a wall or in a corner (where you don't see the back), you can run the excess lights up and down the back of the tree evenly until the lights are used up. This will also make more lights sparkling through too! :) If all sides of the tree will be viewed, spiral the lights back down the tree over the existing lights as evenly as possible & shuffle around the existing lights up or down in places that look like there are too many lights if necessary. Usually this is unnoticeable - especially once the tree is decorated. I hope this was helpful! :) - Christopher

Hi David, Thanks! I used just two 100 light strands of twinkling - the rest are regular lights :) -Christopher

Christopher Hiedeman thank you so much!

Thanks! I purchased the regular clear incandescent string lights and the strand of twinkling string lights at Menards :) -Christopher
