Do You Put The Lights On The Tree First

Divide your tree into 3 sections.

Do you put the lights on the tree first.

Secure your light strands by weaving them in an out of the tree s branches. We use two sets of white lights much to dh s dismay who would prefer naff coloured ones and do one from top to bottom around the centre of the tree and then another top to bottom going around and around the branches. You want the lights to look natural. Move from the trunk to the tip and back again spreading them evenly across the branches covering both sides.

Check out my 6 easy steps to wrap lights on an outdoor tree to decorate for christmas or to dress up an outdoor patio. Plug them in and voila you ve seen the light. We have a neighbor that beautifully wraps several trees in her yard each year for christmas. Before you start plug in the lights to checks if all the bulbs are working.

Begin at the base of the tree and weave the lights up through the branches to the top of the tree and back down to the base. So i think it should go 1. This light will shine on the star angel or snowflake that you will add later. The lights should be first to go on your tree.

Check they work first. Then all the hanging decorations go on. Each section will have its own lights. Whether it s for outdoor christmas decorations or simply to give an outdoor space better ambience.

So if you have a six foot tree you ll probably need 600 lights. Put your first light at the very top of the tree to begin. Lights should be first you can t get the decorations on properly otherwise and see all the wires. Start at the bottom and work your way up.

I don t have tinsel though. Lights on outdoor trees give a warm and cozy feeling. Leave them on while you work so you can see how they look on the tree.
