Technology advancements have made decorating for Christmas easier with the evolution of solar lighting for the yard. Now you can decorate your home for the holiday season with solar lights and save money on utility costs. Learn how to decorate your Christmas wreaths with solar lighting and enjoy lighting up your home with this cost-effective alternative to traditional lights.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Wreath
  • Solar lights
  1. Step 1

    Make or buy your wreath. You can have a small, medium or large wreath depending on the area where you will hang it.

  2. Step 2

    Choose a location for the wreath that gets five or more hours of sun a day. This is important when using solar lights on the wreath. The solar panel that connects to the lights will need to be in the sun so it can collect enough sun energy to power the lights at night.

  3. Step 3

    Visit Solar Wreath Lights to see the selection of lights for the wreath. The 16-foot string has 24 lights on it. You can weave the lights around the wreath while ending with the solar panel toward the end of the wreath.

  4. Step 4

    Place the wreath in the location you have chosen, and mount the solar panel in an area where it will get the most sun. As soon as it gets dark outside, the wreath will light up.
