How to make Christmas Trees with Christmas Lights Decoration Ideas Quick Simple Tutorial Outdoor

Materials used:
Small trees: 1 8'x2" pole, Fence post pounder or large hammer, 3-4 S-hooks, 3-4 Packages of lights, extension cords, and Large U staples (you could use large flat rocks to hold the lights down in place of staples).
Hello! I pounded these stakes in with a fence post pounder. The small stakes are about 2" diameter and the large stakes are about 1 1/2" diameter. I purchased the hooks online. You can space each strand as far or as close as you want. I did about 12" apart on the small trees and about 18" apart on the large trees. (nothing was exact). Hope this helps a little!
Thanks!

I watched this last year and loved it! SO clever how you made it so simple. Other how-to videos need all these special parts! I saved it this time! Thanks so much. I bought the s hooks at Amazon, I have one pole but its short so that'll be my first try! Im definitely making several of these this year!

[@anggru9768]

Glad it was helpful!

[@debbieriddle9429]

love it! My husband does this with a Big tree trunk from where lightening killed the top of the tree. It's really tall and beautiful. We also always pick up artificial trees that people put on the side of the road aftre Christmas every year. Put lights on them, and it's beautiful. We have a place to store them so it makes it very easy. We stake them down with the same stakes you were using. Makes for a Beautifully decorated yard. Thanks for showing how you did it. Love it.

[@ryansing808]

This is a great solution. I'm going to try it. Wondering how many lights on the 8' as well but I'll just find out by doing it.

[@anggru9768]

Thanks! I wasn't keeping track of the number of lights. It was about 5 boxes of the regular lights and the tree in the video, It was a bigger roll and it had plenty of left over lights. I might be able to find that roll and see how many feet it was.

[@ajw1467]

look amazing what was the length of the lights you used ?

[@rotagandwilly7886]

You may want to add some notes in the descriptions so you don't have to answer everybody's comments about what kind of hooks, what kind of and where to find the poles, how many lights, etc. Thanks for sharing the video though.

[@anggru9768]

Thanks! I just added that on the top!

[@anilsah2692]

Quite creative......but u need space.....lawn based theme parties may use such decorations......

Very nice what is all the tool and products that we will need? Can u help? Tks u

[@aliceeads5103]

How many feet of lights did that tree take to make and how many rows of lights (up and down) did you put on it? How did you get the pipe in the ground and how far down into the ground? GREAT JOB!

Okay, I put it in the description part, thanks!

[@summersucceed8544]

Looks great. Wondering where can I buy the poles in your project? Thank you 😊

[@anggru9768]

I bought the smaller ones at Menards - fencing area. The large poles I had on hand. They are the top poles of a chain link fence.

[@elizabethhaynes8816]

How many lights do you use on the trees ?

[@anggru9768]

I used about 3-4 packs on the smaller trees, thanks!

[@lucasxaxier8407]

? Is where do u plug those lights in thats the burning ??

[@anggru9768]

I plug them in an outlet outside the house. These are all LED lights so you can use a lot of strands on one outlet.

[@thomasabbott8974]

Very nice idea. An have a real nice day today 🌲🌟🌲☘

[@anggru9768]

Thanks! You too!

[@MikeDaShark33]

Do I need more than 60 feet of lights for a pole about 6 feet put of the ground?

[@anggru9768]

It just depends on how many 'runs' up and down you do. I think I averaged 18 ...so depending on how tall the tree is, lets say 6' you would probably need 7' of lights each run so 7'*18' = 126 feet of lights. You can do less runs or more.

[@pambartley5908]

How many lights does it take

[@anggru9768]

Depends on the size of the tree. I was averaging 3 packs of 100.

[@sandravolz2024]

You can also use different sizes of PVC pipe

[@anggru9768]

Yes!

[@GM-pm4hm]

How many hooks did you use at the top of the pole? Shows 3 in this video. Nice easy job by the way.

[@anggru9768]

I put 3, you could use more, but I had a lot of poles to do and didn't want to run out of hooks.

[@marlyngreen192]

Hi this is a wonderful idea, i cannot find the hooks, what are they called ?

Is that just a pole with S hooks??

[@badassdiva4753]

Thank you. I want to make something for my front yard with Christmas lights that reads GO BILLS but dont know to start . Any suggestions?

[@timheilig6091]

Either cut it from plywood and add rope lights or look into pixel light grids if you want to be able to change the writing at a later date.

[@tammysmith9388]

Wondering where you get your hooks from?

[@anggru9768]

Online - they are called S hooks

[@mcclave65]

Beautiful! What is the diameter of the opening of the pole? Thank you

[@anggru9768]

About 2", the long ones are about 1 1/2"

[@jameshicks5309]

Where did you get the hooks for the top Of pole

[@anggru9768]

Hardware store, Amazon, Walmart, just common S hooks, thanks!

Woodglut is nice for that.

Do you know how many feet of lights were on the one roll that you used?

Did you just hammer the poles into the ground? Cause I love this, super simple

[@anggru9768]

Yes, I used a post hole pounder to put them in, thanks!

[@snrynkee]

How long a string of lights for 8' pole? How did you get pole in ground? Looks great

[@nyacoustics8373]

hi where do you get poles like that and are there real tall ones in a concrete base or just dirt?

[@anggru9768]

I got them from Menards in the fencing section. The long poles were actually leftovers from taking part of the chain link fence down. The long poles were hammered into the ground using a fence post pounder. Thanks!

[@tony70995]

where do you buy these rolls of lights

[@anggru9768]

Menards :)

How do you do when it rain

[@lunamuteb1974]

You should use lights for outdoor use

[@anggru9768]

The lights got rained on a few times and as long as they are plugged in all the way they are fine. I've seen people tape plastic bags over the ends too.

[@Bronxsahh]

Thx you guys
