We've gone to these and just buy a really good quality unlit tree. I've seen SO many people use a pre-lit for 2-4 years and then a section goes out and into the landfill, it goes. Seems like such a waste. Plus, pre-lits are very heavy to store. A good tree lasts almost 20 years until you tire of it & even then can easily be donated. We've noticed that lighting trends change so rapidly as technology does. These RAZ lights can be tucked into the center (as she shows) and then sometimes we'll add trendy berry lights (or whatever over top. She also recommends adding good quality picks to give the tree fullness and variety - & I will say - that makes a huge difference too. I admire her energy! I'm getting to the point where I get one tree up & I'm done! I just use smaller table top trees in other places.

I love these type of lights too, I’ve been using them for a year or two, though this year is the first time I’m ditching the Martha Stewart method of wrapping every branching back and forth for a simple laying the lights on top of each branch, then pulling/tucking a few lights to the under side.

Ingenious idea! I have a tree I love so much but it doesn't have a twinkle function. This will definitely add the final touch to a tree I love so much. Thank you for sharing this tip!!

I LOVE these cluster lights!! They really do save TONS of time compared to the traditional lights. This year I made the mistake of crossing wires and second-year traditional lights start to burn out FAST apparently. I am in fact the person that took 100 years to light a tree.. I added 2 strands of twinkle LED lights and MAN OH MAN were those a game changer....it took 1/10th of the time to string them as it does with traditional. Where can we find those exact lights you're using, the clusters ive ordered from amazon are nowhere near the same as what I've seen professionals use.

@REVELATIONDESIGN Жыл бұрын

We have been shipping the lights from our store. Otherwise, look for RAZ cluster lights. We sell them for the same price point you see on Amazon, we just lave to charge extra for shipping which is roughly $10-$15 per box.

@lindseygerner4677 8 ай бұрын

@@kathyw.1835 it's a 9 ft that comes apart in 3 sections. All the same length lights. I have the top section started from the top and there's lots of extra at the bottom of the strand. I have a bright piece of tape at a certain spot. When packing it up, that's where I bundle the extra. Unpacking the tree, that extra bundle gets wrapped into the middle section. It's easy to hide that piece of tape with tree decor. When it comes time too pack up the tree, I just need to find that pink tape and bundle the extra up and pack up the tree in is storage bag

@REVELATIONDESIGN 8 ай бұрын

That’s wonderful! Fabergé eggs are very intricate. I suggest using a wide ribbon in a solid color like red and just floral picks and stems of one color added to the tree. This will help the eggs stand out. Poinsettias or Amaryllis will give a solid focal point to direct your eyes around the tree and something solid to have a visual rest between eggs. Hope this helps!

Apply lights from top to bottom zig zagging through the tree. When you are putting them in the branches, only zig zag at the top in a small width. Keep getting wider as you go down. Think of 3 pizza pie slices on your tree to cover the entire tree. 🔺🌲

Sorry for the late response, we have several people logging in to keep up with the questions. The 44ft cluster lights are what we use on a 9 ft tree. We use 3 sets. It really depends on how bright you want your tree. We typically put 2 strands of 44ft cluster lights on a 7ft tree but we have added up to 6 strands of the 44ft cluster lights on a 9 ft tree.

Great thing about cluster lights is that they do not have to be complicated and precise. The wired lights have more lights coming off in each direction to give maximum exposure without the stringent placement and over thinking. The pre-lit manufacturer placed lights on the tree already are evenly spaced. Happy Decorating!

@janetgies8698 16 күн бұрын

These cluster lights are great. My issue with lots of light is they overpower and make the decor hard to see. I suppose this issue would be helped by using ornament colors that are more visible. 🎄🤍Janet
