How to Light a Christmas Tree

Video Transcript

"First, I'm going to show you how to decorate a tree with lights. What you want to do is you want to start off with your bigger lights first, these are going to go towards the inside of the tree that way the whole all the colors reflect and radiate to the outside of the tree and the ornaments will pick up on them. You want to be careful that you don't put any big bulbs next to any branches that are kind of dry 'cos we don't want to start any fires, so I'm going to start at the end and I'm just going to start at the bottom and clip, come to different branches, weaving in and out. And as I said, I want to center these more towards the inside because that way the different colors will reflect off of different areas of the tree and the different ornaments. And I'm going to work my way up through the tree, you might want to have somebody step back for you and make sure that, you know,your tree stays even that you have bulbs in different areas or you can do this yourself just by stopping every once in a while. In stepping back, you want to make sure that you plan where the ends of your lights are going to be 'cos you don't want to string too many lights together 'cos this could be a fire hazard, too many strands of lights. You want to make sure to put a couple of lights at the top of your tree, this will light up your tree-topper so it showcases the top of the tree and if they get to the top and you have a few left-over like you notice, I do, just work on back into the tree, then we'll see. Maybe one right here and like with anything, you want to make sure that you're if you're only seeing one side of your tree but that side looks the best and has the most lights, alright? So, we've got our inside bulbs done. Now, we want to move on to our there are white lights or different color of lights, the smaller bulbs, and we're going to do the same thing except this time we can place it closer to the outside of the tree. You still want to make sure that you weave it into the branches a little bit just as that they don't fall back off and you want to make sure that you kind of move between the levels of the different tree branches 'cos this will give it a more varied look if you just work if you just spiral around the tree you'll have a lot more open spaces and empty holes, so, if you just work your way up and down kind of in a zigzag motion, you make sure to cover your whole tree and make it look its best, and again, we're starting at the bottom where the our tree is the whitest so that we in that way we don't get to the bottom and ran out of lights and you can cross them over each other will be a big deal and they'll blend in together. Then you want to stop once in while to make sure that you're getting it evenly across your tree and that you don't have any empty spots with no lights,alright? So, our Christmas tree is already to be decorated further. Thank you and have fun!"
