String lights or trunk wrap lights are two ways to wrap Christmas roof lights. Light-wrapped trees are one of the most popular outdoor Christmas decorations. Depending on how many trees you plan to light, wrapping trees with string lights can be quite expensive and time-consuming. However, you will be able to customize the final look with mini string lights. A trunk wrap light could be the better choice for your outdoor Christmas decorations if you want to keep your lights uniform, are short on time, or are trying to stay within a tight budget.
A guide to wrapping outdoor trees with string lights
- For easier passing around the trunk and between branches, wind the tree lights into a ball or buy them already wound into a ball
- The male plug should be connected to an electrical source at the tree’s base
- Make sure you connect the male end of the last light string to the female end of each of the new light strings as you wrap around the tree and branches
- The light strings should be wrapped around multiple branches as you wrap up the branch. When you reach the bottom, wrap them back down, filling in any gaps. When you reach the base, repeat this step for the next branch
- Get the ambiance going by plugging in your light strings!
