The final effect is amazing, but, man that looks like a pain.
Do you wind the strands around the tree in a circular fashion as you go up the branches? Or is it better to divide the tree into segments and place them on a diagonal slope rather than a lateral one? Thanks!
Thank you for replying! After trying for nearly two hours to place four strands of retro-fashioned white bubble lights on my tree (NEVER AGAIN, repacked and returned them), I went ahead and got LED remote controlled individual candles. Of course, each one needs a AAA battery, so I am off to BJ's to buy a magnum pack. I've never worked so hard to get a tree decorated before, but your video inspires me to keep on until it's finished. Best!
Are the clips metal? I was very excited to find some vintage candle lights, but the clips we're very flimsy plastic and I had a hell of a time getting them to stand straight! Yours came out lovely btw!
I have those lights on my tree in my bedroom, I love them!!!
Hiiii Christopher. I went looking for these lights, found them on Amazon. Looked at the reviews ... WHYYYY is it 99% of the people can't make the candles stand vertically on the branches??? And they posted pics too! ... could not avert my eyes (lol). Other than bending the tree-tips and angling the candles, is there some trick you're doing? Do you find that after a period of time the candles slump over and need regular adjusting, or do they stay put the whole season?
These look amazing! Do you think they would look nice if I added them after my fairy lights?
+Christopher Hiedeman thanks for the reply! I noticed you said you bought them in ivory but I can't see a colour option?
Great candle lights ... Were did You buy them??
