Simple Christmas tree hack that makes lights 'appear brighter'
07.12.2022 - 00:51 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A woman has shared a simple Christmas tree hack which can make your lights look brighter. With the festive season in full swing, many will be looking to set up their trees in the coming days, if they haven't already
It can sometimes be tricky to snake your lights around your tree, especially if it is particularly tall. Thankfully, a home decor expert named Nina, who posts on TikTok under @casa_anguiano, has shared a method which she claims makes the tree look fuller with lights.
She shared the hack with her 10.3k followers, claiming that it not only looks better, it's also easier to set up and take down. Her trick involves hanging the festive lights vertically rather than horizontally.
Nina explained: "Super random but very helpful tip about stringing lights. Start with the thingamajiggy that doesn't have prongs at the top of your tree. If you have a tree topper that has to be plugged in this will be very useful.
"Then string them vertically - this will allow you to use less lights. It will appear brighter on your tree and [will be] easier to remove at the end of the season." She then signed off saying: "ok bye!"
The clip has received 1.3 million views and well over 100 TikTok users taking to the comments to share their thoughts about the hack. One wrote: "Omg this is genius!!!!! Trying this year," while a second added: "Hmmmmm. Thank you!"
A third said: "our tree sits in the corner so this technique is super great to not waste lights and have to light the back that no one sees." A fourth joked: "Who wants less lights? I want so many you could see it from space."
So there you have it - the perfect advice if you’re planning on popping up the Christmas tree this week.
