This is a quick how to guide for wrapping lights around trees in your yard.

Not every branch needs to be wrapped, and branches should be selected to allow for an even, pleasing distribution of light. Wrapping trees is much easier with two people, and by keeping the string in a neat ball. The following steps are the easiest way to wrap trees:

Start at the base of the tree with the first string of lights. Make sure the male plug is ground level to connect with your power cord.
Wrap Christmas lights tightly, to ensure a snug fit. Lights will stay in place if wrapped tightly, but you can use zip ties to secure any loose wires or areas of concern.
Increase spacing of strings on branches where light strings will be wrapped up and back down.
Keep light strings close to the tree to prevent wind and storm damage.
