  • 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!

    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!

    • @GunnerHillTX
      @GunnerHillTX Год назад +1

      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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

    • @HowToHomeDIY
      @HowToHomeDIY  2 года назад

      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. : )
