How to Make an Outdoor Christmas Tree Out of Lights!

[@HowToHomeDIY]

I have a list of all the materials I used in the description if you want to check those out. You may be able to find some of them cheaper at other stores. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them here!

[@darrelyn6769]

Much better than the PVC pipe version, as you can easily break it down to store it! Wish I’d known that $80 ago!

[@rhess2989]

This will be a great project to do with the grandkids this weekend!

[@HowToHomeDIY]

Yeah perfect! My sons helped me put ours up this past week! Have fun with it!

[@htaylor8169]

I was trying to use materials already laying around my garage so thank you for your video because it helped spark my creative mind to eyeball stuff I already have in my garage to use

[@susanpaulson9826]

I have seen hula hoops on the bottom to wrap wires around. They used landscape pins on the hula hoop. Thanks for you video!

[@StanWanda1319]

Excellent idea Brother. Best easiest concept I've seen to date. Thanks so much. Happy New Year 🎉

[@chrissmith513]

I made these they look so Beautiful ☃️☃️☃️ Merry Christmas 2024

[@Sinderbad]

I always wondered how to attach the lights to the top. Thank you.🎄

[@bobcancro1292]

I've looked at a lot of KZbin videos you are best by far you narrate and inform very adequate and you have a blessed day

[@burritodog3634]

thank you! all i could find on youtube was how to wrap lights around a tree but this is what i wanted to do.

[@lizethvalenzuela8237]

Thank you, I did it and was really easy, I used a 10 ft pipe and added some more holes to the top and turned out really good 🎄

[@HowToHomeDIY]

Awesome! I bet it looks great!

[@corman4878]

Thank you for this video. Looks great.

[@JimChwaszczewski]

As an alternative, I’ve use some of my big plant poles. They normally sit in storage all winter. Just hook the lights over the plant hanger

[@keitharnold429]

Wow that was a great showing of a Christmas being put up. The best part is like you said is i can make as many as I want and change the size fore each tree. Thank you so very much. I have been on here for a few days trying to find an easy one to do.

[@jessicarodriquez8091]

I love diy easy and inexpensive!!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@needsmorecowbell1758]

That looks so easy! Thanks for the tutorial

[@PastorJaeS]

Great job, bro. I was getting ready to do this exact thing tomorrow. The landscape pins are going to be a life-saver. I've been using camping stakes and these are much cheaper! Thanks for sharing.

[@HowToHomeDIY]

You are welcome. Yeah the landscape pins are super easy and inexpensive! I hope it went well today! Thanks a lot for the feedback!

[@clarkriccobuono3903]

Very helpful video. I'm going to try with outdoor strip lights.

[@kristieperkins8365]

Your video is great but I think I might add more holes in between the 4 there, just to make the lights fuller.. Great job

[@HeartlanderArt]

Great job

[@rtrobinson88321]

Thanks for the idea. I think I will make one of these.

[@HowToHomeDIY]

You are very welcome! I think you will really like it. Picture doesn't really give the full effect. Thanks for the feedback Riley.

[@violasciarra8988]

Oh this is how I do it too! 🎉

[@HowToHomeDIY]

Turns out really nice!

[@falconhead2862]

Definitely want to make a self standing one for indoors. Good information to start the process. Thanks!!

thank you. Very detailed. I was not even planning on doing this, just came across the video by accident, but I may have to give this a try.

I just put mine up yesterday. Easier than it looks and I don’t think it looks too difficult haha.

Great idea 💡😀

[@mitchmontoya7193]

Cool idea, I'm gonna do it. (because my wife wanted me to buy one pre-made, but wanted to economize this year. (I thought 10 totes of decorations was sufficient).

That was Awesome thank you so much Happy Holidays 🎄🦃🍁🙌🏼

[@miketemplin3366]

Nice! Wasn’t sure what I was going to do with a planter I have and looked at spiral pre lit trees. This is a great and simple idea at about a third of the cost.

[@rosataylor8217]

I love it easy 😌 thanks u

[@81artmonk]

Great idea but I would use smaller lights as IMO it would make it look a but cleaner

[@HowToHomeDIY]

Interesting idea. Thanks for the feedback!

Can you make a diy tree topper for this tree? The tree turned out great. This is a great video. I think my tree needs a tree topper. Let me know. Thank you.

[@karenboyce1503]

Hi I've been looking how to put a tree in my front garden and this is perfect, I have poles and everything for it from a pulled down carport some gave me I used tent pegs for the ground . It looks great U out coloured lights also with the white lights all solar God bless merry Christmas from Australia 🌲🐨🦘🇭🇲

[@flagpolechristmastreeguy]

I would like to send you one of my toppers to see what you think. It works on 1” 2” pvc as well as telescoping and non telescoping flagpoles.

[@charmainebrewster7798]

Awesome

[@Handygrrl]

It would be helpful to know how many strings of string lights or overall length of the light string(s) you used. 100 feet?

[@sharonrosen7314]

Definitely going to try this. Is the pole pvc pipe?

[@gw504saints]

Good Video. I think I can do this wish me luck.

[@jimcraver6461]

When you put the pipe in the ground how high was the pipe and how many strands of lights did you have to use to complete this project

[@MoSportsUSA]

What a great idea, but a couple of constructive suggestions. 1) Try using threaded hooks or open eye bolts at the top instead, especially if you suspect that winds could dislodge the wires. 2) I almost cringed when I saw you were using straight wire staples pushed hard into the ground instead of insulated wire staples. Again, great idea and thanks for doing the hard part of coming up with a wonderful new take on a Christmas tree!

[@GunnerHillTX]

Landscape pins are intended for holding down weed barrier fabric, etc, so they're much longer, wider, blunter and thicker gauge than wire staples. One would have to be extremely careless/unlucky if the lighting wire was damaged while the pins were being pushed into the ground. If wear & tear on the light wire is the concern, there's nothing to stop someone going to the bother of wrapping electrical tape around the pins' bare wire.

[@lissettediaz3180]

Lo boy hacer para mi patio. Facial de hacer

[@lorriecarey1]

This is just what we needed. I'm going with smaller lights and the hula hoop ideas. Any suggestions on how to estimate how many feet of lights to get, depending on how long your pole is?

[@amiedsouder1766]

How did you get the pipe to stay in the ground?

[@HowToHomeDIY]

Just ran it into the ground about a foot and the lights all around help stabilize it. It stayed the 2 months we had it up and while it wasn’t hard to take it out of the ground, it didn’t just come right out.

[@cheryldunn5354]

How many light sets

[@vkjayarajannambisan9509]

👍

[@brucelaatsch8668]

How many strings of lights did you use?

[@HowToHomeDIY]

It takes 3 to make the tree and then I use a 4th to wrap around it at the bottom.

[@brucelaatsch8668]

@HowToHomeDIY thank you!!

[@brucenpcola]

Specifically, what kind of pipe are you actually using?

[@alpnakumar9555]

where did you get the instructional piping?

[@HowToHomeDIY]

One of the big box home improvement stores.

[@k.p.droneenterprises3565]

How many feet of Christmas lights did you have for this project?

[@KathysFinancialSmarts]

Would PVC work in a windy area? I was thinking of pounding a piece of rebar into the ground and slipping the pvd over it. I want smaller treen, 3-5ft max.

[@HowToHomeDIY]

With the rebar underneath the pvc I think that would work well as long as the soil isn’t too sandy. May have to put it in the ground a ways depending on that. Good idea!

[@KathysFinancialSmarts]

@@HowToHomeDIY I use rebar for my other plywood decorations I made. This seemed much easier. Our ground is rock hard with lots of rocks, so I just have to pick a good spot to pound in the rebar. Was going to go through a planted plant, then steak with the staples onto the artificial turf. : )

[@HowToHomeDIY]

Oh perfect! Have fun with the project!

[@rxlo1015]

👍👍👍

[@morerandomthanyou9852]

Hey man could you please do a durability test with it cause I'm worried when I bye one it will fall in the wind

[@HowToHomeDIY]

I have had mine in the ground about two weeks now and we have had some strong windy days, it hasn’t moved. The important thing is making sure it’s far enough in the ground. If it is, it’s not going fall and while it’s not much, the lights are adding some support as well.

[@ashpasch6004]

Sorry . Hope you're ok. Blessings. 🙏

[@paultaylor9780]

Did you do that with one string of lights ?

[@paultaylor9780]

Meant to say "how many light sets did it take to make that one tree"?

[@HowToHomeDIY]

Hey Paul, I used 4 20 foot strands of lights. I had quite a bit left over on the last one so I just wrapped the bottom of the tree.
