A tip for stringing lights on your tree.

If you can answer yes to this question, Do you use a ton of strands to light up your tree?

Then this tip will be your best friend.

Use icicle lights to put on your tree.  Because they hang you can wrap your tree in less time with just the same amount of lighting.  I have a 7.5ft tree and it took 2 strands.  Another tip from someone was to use the netting lights made for bushes.
