For those of you that buy
a fresh Christmas tree every year, try using three 100 count mini light strings
per one foot section of your tree. The rest of you that have an artificial
tree, such as myself, use three 50 count mini light strings per one foot
section of the tree. These shorter strings will be easier to work with when
wrapping around the branches so that you can pack your tree up after the
holidays with your mini lights still attached.
So many people nowadays
choose to do a “theme Christmas tree”, fun and festive. If you like to do this,
it is nice to pick mini lights in the color that matches your key ornaments.
Say you've picked a gold and white theme for your tree. You could try using
yellow mini lights. This will enhance the gold theme on your tree. (In this case you might want to use less mini
lights per section. That way your ornaments and decorations stand out and the Christmas
lights are just there to enhance.)
We've all gotten our
Christmas tree lit and stepped back to admire our work and thought, “Did I miss
a spot?” All you have to do to be sure, step back from your tree and cross your
eyes as you look at it. Wherever you see black holes, rearrange the mini lights
to fill in the voids and have a perfectly lit Christmas tree.
Illuminating your
Christmas tree can really make a big impact. All you have to do is, start from
the base of the tree trunk with your chosen Christmas mini lights. Wrap your
way up the trunk and around each branch all the way out to the tip. It will
glow from the inside all the way out.
Untangling your Christmas
mini lights, an every year occurrence. The best way to handle this situation;
start by wrapping the strands around your arm, being careful not to pull on any
bulbs. While you are in the process of untangling
your holiday lights, check which bulbs work and the ones that need to be replaced.
Don’t wait until they are on your tree to start replacing bulbs.
