Creating a twig tree with lights can be a simple yet stunning addition to your outdoor décor. Not only is this an economical way to decorate, it also adds a bit of whimsy and fun to your outdoor living area. With a few materials and some patience, you can create an outdoor twig tree with lights that will be the talk of the neighborhood.
The first step to creating your twig tree is to find some sturdy branches for the main part of the tree. You’ll want to find branches that are relatively straight and have minimal side branches or leaves.
If you’re able, try to find branches that are roughly the same thickness throughout, as this will make it easier when you’re assembling them into your tree shape. Once you have your branches gathered, you can begin to assemble them into the shape of your outdoor twig tree.
Begin by finding a sturdy base for your tree – this could be anything from an old bucket filled with sand or stones, or even just in the ground if it is stable enough. Then start adding in your branches one by one, layering them around each other until you have achieved the desired shape. You may need to use some string or wire ties in order to keep everything secure together.
Next up is adding in the lights!
When selecting lights for your twig tree, there are many options available; from traditional Christmas-style lights that plug into an outlet, to solar powered LED fairy lights which require no wiring at all. If selecting wired lights be sure that they are rated for outdoor use and properly secured so they don’t become damaged by wind or rain.
Once you have decided which type of light works best for you, attach them around the branches of your twig tree carefully and securely. The final step is then simply plugging them into an outlet (if applicable) and watching as your beautiful creation comes alive!
Conclusion:
Making a beautiful outdoor twig tree with lights is as easy as gathering some sturdy branches and layering them together while attaching strands of LED fairy or Christmas-style lights around it. With patience and a few materials, you can create a stunning addition to any outdoor living area that will make all who see it smile.
