Things You'll Need:
- Extension cord to test the lights
- Extra bulbs if you saved them from last year's usage
- New replacement bulbs to use this year
- Extra pair of lights in case some of last years don't work
-
Step 1
You need to sit at the kitchen table, because this a messy job. Start by winding the strings on your arm, being careful not to pull or lose any bulbs while unwinding the strands.
-
Step 2
When you have unwrapped at least one string, check the lights to see if they all work. If not, check each bulb to see if it is fitted properly into the opening.
-
Step 3
You have to check and now have all of the lights on cardboards and your next step would be to put the lights on the Christmas tree. Put on one string at a time. Encircle the tree starting at the top and then on each branch of the tree. It depends on how large the tree is, as to how close you are going to place the string of lights.
-
Step 4
Make sure that you are attaching the light sockets to the one proceeding it, so that it does not look tacky, and it looks like they are circling the tree. While putting up the lights be sure and try the lights to see how they are looking. Don't put all of the same colors together, spread them out.
