I am never going back to the old way! I am so happy to have finally achieved perfect lights. Here's the exact lights I used: geni.us/HAtrNHU - I've also collected all of my special, unique ornament finds in this Pinterest board, follow to see new finds as I add them! pin.it/3wHKIoynC
When growing up, my mother was a light perfectionist. She didn't however put lights on herself. She gave us all instruction. Because of that experience, I became a light nazi too.....BUT I knew how to do it and that was before "icicle" lights. You methoed hits the nail on the head......Merry Christmas
I've always started from the top, never thought about starting from the bottom. Does it make a difference? Thank you for the "tentacle method" I will definitely be adopting this🌲
That’s funny, I never thought to start at the top! think I start at the bottom because I’m short and can’t reach at the top so I’d rather do that part last when I have a smaller bunch of unused lights in my hand 😅
I can’t find anywhere that sells the green cable lights😭 that aren’t super expensive anyway! The link you kindly gave sadly doesn’t work, love this idea so much though!
It seems green cables are hard to come by! Glad I got mine when I had the chance. I did find another one which is battery operated so a little cheaper! You want to check the length first though to make sure it’s enough for your tree size: geni.us/nEzbeYk
Lovely video! The second method looks good! I'm not sure I'd have the patience to arrange each tentacle precisely though; I'm a bit of a light perfectionist. Also I have pets who sometimes get close enough to the tree where they might knock off the tentacles over and over. I did LOL when you tossed the lights on the first tree, ala the original method. If the lights are just randomly tossed on and you don't bother with placing correctly then yes, it will look like that :) That's how the hubby used to do it til I finally said 'enough - you are banished from light duty forevermore!' 😅
I’m glad you like it! I’m quite fussy with trees and like it when they are not too busy but not to sparse. And somewhat natural looking. So happy with this one!
Here's the link to exact ones I bought, the brand is called ansio. amzn.to/40Mq9Gx it does look like there are a lot of similar ones on amazon, just make sure you get them with green wire!! :)
I wish I got this video before I bought 20 boxes of lights. My big tree swallows lights so I have to put double the strands. This might would work next year.
@phoebedoeseverything sell to who..what person is going to pay enough for the time it's worth to buy used Christmas lights. I think you have to much time on your hands

I have a feeling I will be passing on a similar experience to my children 😅 once you’ve achieved perfection it’s hard to accept anything less 🙌🏼💕🎄
Id hate to see you turn into a heavy nazi!
Thanks so much for this tutorial! I'll have to try this method out this year! Really excited to see how it turns out!
I am glad I inspired you! I hope it turns out well, it’s easier than I expected, just a case of calm consistency! I believe in you ✨💕
What brilliant idea! Thanks for sharing and I will definitely do this method next year
I’m glad it inspired you! 😊
Hm, using tentacle lights and red berries like that sounds good. I may try that.
This is absolutely brilliant! Definitely trying it this year ❤
I’m glad you liked it! I’m sure yours will look beautiful 💕✨

Awesome tips for tree lighting! Another cool way to make your tree perfect using my Nanoleaf holiday string lights.
I’m glad you liked it 😊

The struggles of being a light perfectionist!! 😂
Good tree lit up. Thanks!

Tinsel is now so passe! :-D
Omg! You deserve a PhD for this!
😅 a Christmas PhD!!
Thank you for sharing

Ok. Now im buying the tentacle type of xmas light.
It will change your life! I’m never going back!
Omg, genious!
😇
I can't find your exact lights...what is the brand... The link just takes you to the light section on Amazon, not the specific lights.
Here's the link to exact ones I bought, the brand is called ansio. amzn.to/40Mq9Gx it does look like there are a lot of similar ones on amazon, just make sure you get them with green wire!! :)
They only sell it in the uk
Genius!
😇
Where do you purchase the lights?

Oh that’s such a shame! On the plus side you can probably buy some on sale in January and be all set for next year! 👏🏼
This is helpful.
I’m so glad!
That’s genius!
😇
So spend more money to buy more lights
Then you won’t need any more! You can sell your old ones 😎
