Accept you will need to use at least one nail to build from. Estimate size you hope for and center the nail

The Star

My star had a hole I could directly insert nail into. I started all my lights from behind it and used it to hide the starting point.

Pencil in or Visualize Tree Outline.

At each outline point give yourself a hook. Because the weight of the lights to make the size if my tree I put a nail thru the hike in the hook and putty being part of the hook to push it forward so lights didn't touch wall

Tree Outline

doesn't need to be perfect, it will be filled in

Make Rows

make rows for Christmas tree fullness. any place cord is two long before lights start I used twist ties to shorten. you can color to match cord if choose.

Start Doing Diagnals

Think of these as the actual tree lights. Be sure to hit the lights so you can draw Diana's from the various outline . the clips I used allowed the outline on the bottom of the hook and the criss cross in a higher hoop.

After Tree Done, Pick a Spot to Draw Lights Out Toward an Outlet.

Pull it out do it doesn't mess up your tree line then plug in. Be relieved that you once again have a tree to put presents under
