- In this video I show you how to make outdoor Christmas trees out of lights. This decoration is really easy to make and will probably work better and be less expensive than buying them in the store already made.

Looks awesome! I lost my girlfriend to cancer last year, so it's been very hard to get in the Christmas sprit. But I do still have her Grandson in my life (Thank God) and he said Papa Rick if you would put up a Christmas tree this year I think it would make you happy! So since he's coming over to stay the weekend with me, this is what we are going to do, put up a tree just like the one you did here! I can't wait! I don't know what I would do without him. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas! Papa Rick
I am very sorry for you loss Rick. I am really glad to hear that he is still in your life as it sounds like you two are very close. Children are such a blessing. I hope you all have a good time putting up the tree together! It will be a fun little project. Thanks a lot for the feedback and have a Merry Christmas!
My condolences. Children will always have a way to make us happy. Have a very Merry Christmas and a safe New Years.
Sorry for your loss thanks God that angel is in your life there is always a reason for someone to be there specifically someone like a kid to cheer you up enjoy him and do things that will make you both happy someone will be looking to both of you enjoying putting that Christmas Tree. Happy Holidays
Merry Christmas 2023 Papa Rick! May you still be strong and happy!
I have seen hula hoops on the bottom to wrap wires around. They used landscape pins on the hula hoop. Thanks for you video!
Thank you, I did it and was really easy, I used a 10 ft pipe and added some more holes to the top and turned out really good 🎄
Awesome! I bet it looks great!
thank you! all i could find on youtube was how to wrap lights around a tree but this is what i wanted to do.
Thank you for this video. Looks great.
I love diy easy and inexpensive!!!!!
Thank you for sharing!!!
Great job, bro. I was getting ready to do this exact thing tomorrow. The landscape pins are going to be a life-saver. I've been using camping stakes and these are much cheaper! Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome. Yeah the landscape pins are super easy and inexpensive! I hope it went well today! Thanks a lot for the feedback!
How many box's of lights were needed to complete one?
"Treemendous" - Nice!
😂
That looks so easy! Thanks for the tutorial
Very helpful video. I'm going to try with outdoor strip lights.
Wow that was a great showing of a Christmas being put up. The best part is like you said is i can make as many as I want and change the size fore each tree. Thank you so very much. I have been on here for a few days trying to find an easy one to do.
Definitely want to make a self standing one for indoors. Good information to start the process. Thanks!!
Thanks for the idea. I think I will make one of these.
You are very welcome! I think you will really like it. Picture doesn't really give the full effect. Thanks for the feedback Riley.
Thanks for this. I'm definitely going to do this. Beautiful and simple. 🇮🇪❤️🍀
It looks simple but it's very beautiful ❤️❤️merry Christmas 🎄
Thank you! Glad you like it. Merry Christmas! 🎄
thank you, great video i just bought everything i need to make one just like yours!
Thank you Happy Holidays
Great idea but I would use smaller lights as IMO it would make it look a but cleaner
Interesting idea. Thanks for the feedback!
super easy and very effective. Thanks
Nice....just what I was looking for.
Oh this is how I do it too! 🎉
Turns out really nice!
Thank you! Love this idea and can't wait to try it 😀
Nice! Wasn’t sure what I was going to do with a planter I have and looked at spiral pre lit trees. This is a great and simple idea at about a third of the cost.
I would like to send you one of my toppers to see what you think. It works on 1” 2” pvc as well as telescoping and non telescoping flagpoles.
Great idea 💡😀
That was Awesome thank you so much Happy Holidays 🎄🦃🍁🙌🏼
I love it and will make 3 of them...ty
Thanks for the help!!

Hi I've been looking how to put a tree in my front garden and this is perfect, I have poles and everything for it from a pulled down carport some gave me I used tent pegs for the ground . It looks great U out coloured lights also with the white lights all solar God bless merry Christmas from Australia 🌲🐨🦘🇭🇲
Can you make a diy tree topper for this tree? The tree turned out great. This is a great video. I think my tree needs a tree topper. Let me know. Thank you.
Thank you!!
What a great idea, but a couple of constructive suggestions. 1) Try using threaded hooks or open eye bolts at the top instead, especially if you suspect that winds could dislodge the wires. 2) I almost cringed when I saw you were using straight wire staples pushed hard into the ground instead of insulated wire staples. Again, great idea and thanks for doing the hard part of coming up with a wonderful new take on a Christmas tree!
Landscape pins are intended for holding down weed barrier fabric, etc, so they're much longer, wider, blunter and thicker gauge than wire staples. One would have to be extremely careless/unlucky if the lighting wire was damaged while the pins were being pushed into the ground. If wear & tear on the light wire is the concern, there's nothing to stop someone going to the bother of wrapping electrical tape around the pins' bare wire.
👍
Awesome
Good Video. I think I can do this wish me luck.
This is just what we needed. I'm going with smaller lights and the hula hoop ideas. Any suggestions on how to estimate how many feet of lights to get, depending on how long your pole is?
Lo boy hacer para mi patio. Facial de hacer
When you put the pipe in the ground how high was the pipe and how many strands of lights did you have to use to complete this project
Sorry . Hope you're ok. Blessings. 🙏
Specifically, what kind of pipe are you actually using?
How did you get the pipe to stay in the ground?
Just ran it into the ground about a foot and the lights all around help stabilize it. It stayed the 2 months we had it up and while it wasn’t hard to take it out of the ground, it didn’t just come right out.
How many light sets
👍👍👍
where did you get the instructional piping?
One of the big box home improvement stores.
Lindos pero porfa en español gracias
Be careful you don’t pound that pipe into a sprinkler,phone or electrical line.

Hey man could you please do a durability test with it cause I'm worried when I bye one it will fall in the wind
I have had mine in the ground about two weeks now and we have had some strong windy days, it hasn’t moved. The important thing is making sure it’s far enough in the ground. If it is, it’s not going fall and while it’s not much, the lights are adding some support as well.
@@HowToHomeDIY alright thanks
Would PVC work in a windy area? I was thinking of pounding a piece of rebar into the ground and slipping the pvd over it. I want smaller treen, 3-5ft max.
With the rebar underneath the pvc I think that would work well as long as the soil isn’t too sandy. May have to put it in the ground a ways depending on that. Good idea!
@@HowToHomeDIY I use rebar for my other plywood decorations I made. This seemed much easier. Our ground is rock hard with lots of rocks, so I just have to pick a good spot to pound in the rebar. Was going to go through a planted plant, then steak with the staples onto the artificial turf. : )
Oh perfect! Have fun with the project!
Cant do i have ELK in yard all the time they get them all over them self
how many sets of lights per tree?
This one took 4.
Did you do that with one string of lights ?
Meant to say "how many light sets did it take to make that one tree"?
Hey Paul, I used 4 20 foot strands of lights. I had quite a bit left over on the last one so I just wrapped the bottom of the tree.
@@HowToHomeDIY Looks good ! Thanks
You’re welcome! Thanks for the feedback.
I did it with the WoodPrix plans.
