Step 1 depending on how wide full your tree is artificial or real divide it into fourths quadrants.
Easiest way to put lights on a christmas tree.
Use this guideline to determine how many lights you ll need.
The easy way that i put lights on those trees i am going to cover here.
Plug each strand of lights into an electrical outlet to confirm they are working.
Plug the first strand of lights into an electrical outlet.
Leave them on while you work so you can see how they look on.
This eliminates the long strand of extra lights that would normally go from the tree to the wall outlet.
Allowing some slack or leader cord in the first strand of lights separate the cord near the first bulb so it forms a loop.
Slip the loop over one of the branchlets or greens near the trunk and wrap the cord a few times around the green to secure it.
If your tree is really wide divide it into fifths or even sixths.
Try to keep the same distance between layers of lights so the tree is evenly lit.
You may want to sort of wrap the lights around the branches putting the branch through the loop in the strand most light sets are made up of several different strands you can separate.
So if you have a six foot tree you ll.
For every foot average 100 lights.
Think front two sides and back.
Begin at the bottom of the tree close to the trunk.
