When I think of Christmas decorations, lights come to mind right after the tree and stockings. Christmas lights really do spread such happy holiday cheer and make for the perfect way to decorate your home for some added warmth. Here are 10 sparkling ways to decorate with Christmas lights.
String Light Christmas Tree
Sometimes having a Christmas tree just isn’t practical in your living or work space. But that doesn’t mean you have to skip out on the fun of having a tree! Instead, just use pine wood, fairy lights, twine, and some screws to make this most spectacular string light Christmas tree. Get the all the DIY info here.
Garland Wall Tree
Another alternative to a real tree is a garland wall tree. I love how this garland tree still makes it possible to have a green “tree” and hang some decorations as well! You’ll simply pin or tack a light-strung evergreen garland in an ascending zig-zag shape from bottom to top. Then hang a few light decorations and add a star on top. Super easy and far less of a hassle. Photo.
DIY Marquee
Marquee signs are such a fun way to make a statement without compromising style. And with the signature lights, they’re especially perfect during the holidays! Learn how to make your own special message to shine its light on your home from A Beautiful Mess.

Shimmer Light Garland
Isn’t this shimmer light garland so pretty?
