I have no idea how I hung 1,000 lights on the first tree and only 800 on the second (I must have gotten better with practice). It was time consuming but worth it!

Tip – evenly space large ornaments first then go back and fill in with smaller ornaments, tucking some deeper into the tree branches and others on the tips.
