When you don’t like multi-color lights, but your kids do.👇

Comment “Lights” for a link to BOTH cluster and multi-color lights.

If you are like me, you think mult-color lights are okay for your kid’s room, but not for the living room. I definitley prefer the warm white glow of my cluster lights and I’ve only ever used multi-color lights in my son’s room. However, I decided to break the rules this year and experiment with mult-color lights.

I like the color of the lights, but I’ve never thought they were really bright enough to really light up a room and if you know me, you know I love to light up a room with my Christmas lights! So, I decided to combine the multi-color lights with the cluster lights to see if I could still light up the room.

The result was a tree with over 10,000 lights! This is the most lights I have ever put on a tree and I do love it! I can’t wait to decorate it!

The cluster lights are bright enough to light up the room and the multi-color lights add a bit of fun Christmas magic and a feeling of nostalgia. I still remember my grandad putting up those old fashioned multi-color lights on the outside of their house.

So far I’ve left both the cluster and mult-color lights on, but if I wanted to turn off the multi-color lights and only have the cluster lights on, I could.

If you want to recreate this look or just see how I put it all together, comment “Lights” for links to both the cluster and multi-color lights plus videos on how to put them on your tree.

Will you try this lighting combo?

Happy decorating!

Comment “Designs” for a link to this Santa’s Workshop tree and shop all of this traditional red and green decor.

I love this red and green holy ribbon and red plaid ribbon combo.

I won’t even mention my favorite candy apple red ornaments tucked into the branches.

This was one of my favorite designs and my first time combining red and green, if you can believe that!

Happy decorating, everyone!

The most controversial thing I’ve ever said! 👇

Don’t go around and around your tree putting your lights on. Put them on top to bottom in a zig zag pattern.

When I posted this tip a few years ago, I quickly realized people have some strong feelings about their Christmas lights and how they put them on their trees.

Well, I said what I said. You should put your lights on your tree from top to bottom, not around and around your tree. It’s just that much easier!

If you put your lights on any other way, I encourage you to give this a try!

What do you think about this tip? Will you try it this year?

Comment “Lights” for links to lights and “how to” videos.

Comment “Lights” for links to this amazing combination of cluster, snake, and cascading lights.

I used (2) 50 foot connectable cluster lights on the trunk of the tree. Then, I put (3) cascading lights on the top of the tree. Finally, I added (5) 75 foot snake lights on the branches.

This is a 10 foot full tree with a total of 8,000 warm white lights and 1,800 cascading lights.

Yes, they twinkle!

I added these lights using my top to bottom zigzagging zag method that makes lighting your tree so easy!

Just comment “Lights” for links to all three types of lights and videos showing how to do this yourself.

Want a taller tree? No problem. Simply put your tree on a table!

This is one of my favorite tips I have picked up from shopping Christmas stores. They do it so they have space to display and merchadise under the tree. I do it for the height. I also like to use the space under the tree and around the table for displaying more decor or presents.

Either way I get the look of a much taller tree without having to decorate the bottom of a large tree. That’s the part of tree that eats your ornaments.

So, I dothis all the time. Here I’ve taken my 6.5 foot tree and turnded it into a 9.5 foot tree just by setting it on a table.

Be sure to follow me for more Christmas decorating tips and tricks.

8” pleated gold glitter ornament and all the other ornaments and decor available for Christmas 2024.

I have used these gold ornaments in several designs. They are so versatile and can be used with so many different color schemes.

#LTKHoliday #LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

If you are going to use focal points in your tree, like these owls, start by placing them in the tree first. Just use a little wire and attach them to your branches.

I loved using the large owl in the middle of the tree as my main focal point and then paiirs of smaller owls at other points in the tree. I even ended up building nests for all of my owl friends.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday #LTKHome

Shop the lights and decor I used to create this beautiful design featuring large and small owls, chocolate brown ornaments, and pinecone ribbon!

This tree was so gorgeous in person, rom the large owl in his nest to the small owl and nest at the top on the branch.

I loved the pop the chocolate balls gave against the flock. The organic ribbon technique I used to frame the owl is amazing!

I really stretched my creativity on this tree. It was just so fun to create!

After giving this tree a flocking refresh, of course, I lit her up with my favorite warm white snake lights. I used 5 strands of snake lights on this 10 foot full bodied tree to create this look.

Christmas ambiance always starts with the lights on the tree.

Here I created the perfect ambiance in my living room. First, I lit my 10 foot tree with 5 strands of snake lights. Then I added more snake lights to my mantel garland.

With my tree and mantel lit, I then added my Flameless candles and turned on the fireplace. This room was filled with Christmas joy.

I loved sitting in here by the fireplace with my hot cocoa enjoying my lights.

The new 2024 snake lights are also connectable and yes, they twinkle!

If you want to get crative with your decorating this year, here’s what you need - wire! That’a how you attach almost everything to your tree, especially large items that aren’t ornaments or decor.

I use paddle wire all the time. I love to attach large items in my tree designs. I’ve attached baskets, deer, owls, ribbon. I also use it to attach ornaments.

If you are getting creative this you, you’ll need it.

#LTKHome #LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday

Clear wire lights are great for flocked trees.

When Halloween is over, don’t put away your costume masks just yet! Use them to make a great kid’s room Christmas tree.

Here I used my son’s Star Wars Halloween masks from when he was Darth Vader, a Storm Trooper, and Chewbacca.

He loved this tree.

I used this on my dining room table garland and it looked amazing.

Shop the lights and decor used in this design or simply use it for inspiration to create your own design.

This was a green neutral color palette that went great in my family room. I used a giant owl on my windmill and created a nest for him to sit in from garland, grapevine, and magnolia leaves.

I have used white mophead hydrangeas in so many Christmas trees. I love them! This year I plan on using the green panicula hydrangeas as well.

Sometimes it works to use something unexpected.

Santa’s workshop was one of my all time favorite trees. I put Santa in the top. Then, I added my wooden toy collection that Elves obviously made. I also put loads of ribbon in this tree with a large looping technique that was so easy!

Before I decorated this tree, I started with my favorite snake lights, of course. I have used these lights for years and I know they will last for many Christmas’ to come.

When you get your tree out of the box or attic, it needs a little fluffing. Just grab each branch and stand it up. Make sure you give your tree some shape and fill in the holes. Start at the back of each branch and move to the front.

It’s definitley not the most fun part of decorating, but it’s important. So, don’t forget!
