How to wrap a tree with Christmas lights

All the trees that are shown in this video I personally wrapped by hand. I used an extension ladder, but you can use a lift if you would like. Wrapping trees like these are a passion of mine and I take a considerable amount of time to complete each one. I have been wrapping trees like these for years at our personal Christmas display which was featured on ABC’s “The Great Christmas Light Fight” in 2019. We were season 7 episode 4 and we were fortunate enough to WIN!
All the lights and materials I use are commercial grade to ensure they work for many years. I highly recommend using these products!
Have fun with this project and most importantly, BE SAFE! Good luck and Merry Christmas!

You will also need a large ladder. I use the little giant ladder and find it works the best.

In the video, you will see a nail at the bottom of the tree that my lights are attached to. That nail has been in the tree for years so I decided to use it. I DO NOT recommend putting nails in a tree to attach your lights. All you need to do is tie the plug around the strand when you come back around for the first wrap. You can use a zip tie if that is easier for you.

Coming from someone who wraps trees for 3 months out of the year, I'd say the only major thing that might make it easier to do this process is wrapping from the tips of the branches towards the tree. It eliminates some guess work and will save you from having to use excess lights and wrap them back into themselves. Also dark or brown colored cordage to tie between the light spacing so it doesn't sag on trees with smoother bark like a beech or Japanese maple for example. All in all good work on the video!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I couldn't do this, but appreciate your effort and other homeowners who go to the trouble and expense to share the joy and beauty of the season with others.

This video is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thank you SO much!! And for your links in the description. Very helpful! I can’t afford to go all out with my tree like this (even though it is exactly what I want), but maybe I will do a few strands a year until I get there. Or die first of old age. 😂😅 Your trees look phenomenal! ❤👏🏽

Those trees have a great shape to them too. Makes them look even better. Awesome job on them!

I. Have. Got. To. Get. Some. Of. That. Wire. For years I've struggled with trying to run lights in trees and trying to figure out how to run the next set of lights so it doesn't look stupid. Thank you for showing us this. 🌲🌲🎄

Impressive! Just beautiful!! I always wondered what details were in this process. Very professional and it makes the children feel happy as well as their adult family members bringing them in to enjoy ;>

I absolutely love the look of those trees you've done up in lights! The house is so minimal, bc the trees are & imo, always should be the star of the show! **(unless you don't have trees, then shrubbery etc. Would be my 2nd, then the house or permanent human buildings or garages etc.) I will say I also love a nice light up, elevated ddck off a house, that's looks so nice too! I actually did mi e this year bc I could finally afford the lights and electric fir it lol. Your trees have so much character with all the twists & bends, it looks so beautiful and majestic at night! How wonderful to see people, young people especially. Taking thr time to pur up such beautiful Xmas lights. It holds such a pleasant sentimental place for me! Love to see them! Thank you, it was very informative and helpful! 👍🤗💯

Thank you so much for this video!! I love this trees!! So Beautiful!! Wow!!🌲
-
Seriously, I’ve always wondered how this was done! Now I know! Too much math for me 😁 Thank you for the share!
-
Just the video I needed. Did not realize tree wrapping would be so technical, and now I see why I don't do it. Was on the fence, but now strongly discouraged to try this. Eave lights alone it shall be!

Beautiful..... I love the beautiful lights and so professional looking. You did an amazing job. Thank you for sharing.
-
Beautiful. I really could understand exactly what you were doing. Great teaching
-
This video should have THOUSANDS more views! Thanks for the formulas and showing the entire process! This looks fantastic!

I priced out 5mm mini lights online and they're $26.64/each for 70-count commercial-quality lights. 79 strands times $26.64 (not including shipping of those lights) is $2,104.56. That's quite the expensive decoration for a single tree. That said, it does look amazing! Well done...

Truly breathtaking I could stare at those trees forever
