2. Create a Giant Santa

Find a large space to set up your Santa. Put up a string of lights around the perimeter of the space. This will be Santa’s outline.

Then add it inside the outline to create Santa’s body. Hang some lights from the ceiling to create Santa’s arms and put lights around Santa’s head to create his hat. Finally, add a string of lights around Santa’s face to create his beard.

3. Wrapping Them Around Christmas Trees

Choose a color scheme for your lights. You can go with the traditional colors like red and green, or mix it up with other colors like blue and white. Start at the bottom of the tree and work your way up. This will ensure that the lights are evenly distributed.

Some people like to wrap the lights around the tree in a spiral. Others prefer to wrap them in a straight line. Experiment and see what looks best for you.

4. Stringing Them Along Roofline and Gutters

Start by measuring the perimeter of your roofline and gutters to ensure you have enough Christmas lights. Then choose exterior lights that are weather-resistant.

Also, use sturdy hooks or clips to keep them in place. This will help prevent them from falling down or getting blown away in the wind.

5. Line Your Walkway or Driveway with Luminaries

To line your walkway or driveway with luminaries, place them about two feet apart along the desired path. Add sand or rocks to the bottom of each luminary to help weigh it down and keep it from blowing over. Light the luminaries using regular tea light candles or battery-operated tea lights.

Use These Christmas Lights Hacks to Stand Out

Don’t be afraid to get creative with your Christmas lights this year! There are so many great ideas out there, and you can find something that fits your style and personality.

You can use these lights to create a Winter Wonderland theme, strung them along your roofline, wrap them on a Christmas tree along your driveway, and make a giant Santa.

So have fun and enjoy the process of choosing and decorating with your lights!
