Outdoor decorations can add a festive touch to any home. One of the most popular outdoor décor items is a wreath hung on the front door or porch.
But one way to make it even more eye-catching is to add lights to the wreath. Depending on the type of wreath you have and the type of lights you choose, there are several ways to attach lights to an outdoor wreath.
String Lights
String lights are a great way to add a soft, glowing light to your outdoor wreath. To attach string lights, you’ll need something that will hold them in place, such as zip ties or small clips.
If your wreath is made of natural elements like evergreen branches, use zip ties and thread them through the branches and around the string lights. You can also use small clips that attach directly onto the string lights and then clip onto the branches of your wreath.
Fairy Lights
Fairy lights add a whimsical touch to any outdoor decoration. To attach fairy lights to an outdoor wreath, you’ll need some kind of adhesive like hot glue or craft glue.
Start by wrapping the fairy light strand around the inside edge of your wreath and secure it with glue. Once that’s done, you can start gluing individual fairy light bulbs onto each branch of your outdoor wreath.
Lighted Garland
If you want more than just string or fairy lights on your outdoor wreath, consider using a lighted garland instead. Lighted garlands come in all shapes and sizes, so you can find one that fits your décor needs. To attach it to an outdoor wreath, use zip ties or small clips that attach directly onto each end of the garland and then clip onto the branches of your outdoor wreath.
Conclusion:
Attaching lights to an outdoor wreath is a great way to add some festive touches to your home’s exterior decorating. Depending on what type of lighting you choose—string lights, fairy lights or lighted garland—there are several ways to securely attach them to an outdoor wreath so they stay in place throughout all kinds of weather.
