Things You'll Need

• Ladder
• Plastic light hooks
• Electrical cords
• Christmas tree
• Blue garland
• Blue and silver ornaments

Instructions

Outdoors

1. Remove the lights from the packaging. Plug in the lights to test them. If lights are not working, check the lights. Screw in loose bulbs.

2. Set up a ladder to reach the eaves of your house. Start at a position that is close to the power source. You may need a friend to hold the bottom of the ladder to give you more support.

3. Plug the lights into an outdoor electrical cord. The cord should be long enough to reach the power source and the end of the light strand when hung.

4. Dangle a blue snowflake light from the eaves of the house and clip the cord to the eave with a plastic light clip. Do not clip the blue lights. Continue down the strand, clipping the cord in place with the light clips until it is complete.

5. Attach another strand of lights to the end of the blue snowflake lights to make the strand longer.

6. Move the ladder as you need to and clip the strands in place carefully.

Indoors

1. Arrange your flocked or plain Christmas tree in your living room or dining room. The tree should be close to an electrical outlet.

2. Plug an extension cord into the power source and string it to the base of the tree. Connect the blue snowflake lights to the tree.

3. Hang the snowflake lights on the tree, allowing them to dangle from the edges of the branches.

4. Wind the light strand from the bottom to the top, leaving a 1-foot space in between layering strands.

5. Decorate the tree with blue garland tinsel and blue ornaments. Silver ornaments also look nice with blue snowflake lights.
