How to Frame a Window With Christmas Lights

Framing a window in lights looks beautiful from inside and out on a cold, dark winter night.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Finishing Nails
• U Nails
• Strings Of String Lights
• Hammers

1. Measure your window and decide how many and what kind of lights you want.
2. Buy whatever you don't already have - and don't forget that you'll probably need an extension cord.
3. Join the strands together and plug them in (with an extension cord, if you're using one) so you can figure out how they're going to reach their power source.
4. Unplug the cord for safety.
5. Drape the lights over and around the window and figure out how you're going to keep them there. If there's a curtain rod, you're in luck; otherwise, you'll need to tap small finishing nails at intervals along the top - one at each corner and one in the middle might do it if the window's not too big.
6. Hook the light cord over and around the curtain rod, or over the nails.
7. Use u nails (two-pronged nails in the shape of a "u") to secure the lights underneath the window. Be careful not to nail through the cord.
8. Plug the lights in.
