Ways To String  LED Lights On   Your Family's  Holiday Tree

The Holiday season is the  most wonderful  time of year,  embellishing my home and the Christmas Tree. So how do you hang LED  lights on a Christmas Tree? On we go to the fine art of hanging aGreensupply.com christmas lights on our Trees.... And yes, it can be considered  an art. And to a number of people  a fine art.

Make sure that before you begin, to have  all the supplies you  require  available. This will eliminate not having a material  you need  while you are the on the ladder. So we will begin with the ladder,  make certain you have a sturdy  step ladder or small ladder handy. You will need this while you are wrapping the upper branches, even with  a petite  tree, being on a ladder makes stringing your LED  lights much easier.

You will obviously need your lights, an extension cord if the socket is not  nearby  or a step on off/on switch cord, makes lighting your tree  trouble-free,  as well as some patience.

Would you be amazed  to know  that it is recommended  that you start  stringing  your Christmas Tree aGreensupply.com LED lights at the bottom? We had always begun at the top. Why? You can follow the electrical outlet with the cord  of LED lights and not have too much or too little left over  from  draping  from the top. Never looked at it that way before. You will also be able to start with the  proper male/female connections, ever  drape LED lights and end up with  a pair of female ends?

When trimming your Christmas Tree, always start  with the lights. The lights are the primary   object  that should be  put up  before garland or ornaments. Before you start, make sure that the lights are in working order , nothing worse than putting  the lights on the tree and half the strand is not  functioning.

As you string your LED lights  apply a weaving motion one light  beneath a branch and the next light  above,  beneath and over. Push the cord into the branches so the cord does not show.

Estimate your space as you work your lights into the branches, stagger  and space  your rows so that there are no  uncovered spots or clumps of lights together. Be especially careful not to clump the lights together at the  topmost part of the tree. The top of the tree should be the showplace  for your topper.

If you decide you need  extra  lights on your Christmas Tree, use  extra strands and repeat the  manner  of weaving from the top of the tree to the bottom.

Not sure how many lights you need, a quick rule of thumb is to  measure the height of your tree and times  by 10. For instance, a six-foot tree would need   around 60 feet... I know I go way overboard  on the  number  of lights on my tree  but just can't help it.

Now that you are done stringing and are satisfied  with the lights on your Christmas Tree, it is time to  adorn your tree with  trinkets, garland and whatever  pleases your fancy ....
