Start With
the Lights
When decorating, start with the lights first.
Starting at the base of the trunk and working up, wrap the lights
around every major branch, moving from the trunk to the tip and
back.
Do not just wrap the cables around the outside of the tree
branches. It gives the tree more sparkle when it is lit from the
inside as well.
String the lights around the trunk as well as the branches to
light the tree from inside as well as from outside.
Use different types of lights. Faceted glass bulbs appear
brighter. Small twinkle lights and colored lights also bring a lot
of sparkle and shine.
LED lights are also useful as they can be kept illuminated for a
longer time without the fear of lights getting too hot.
You can use single colored lights if working on a themed tree or
mix and match a variety of different colored lights.
