How to Straighten Outdoor Christmas Lights

Here are a few tips for tangling outdoor Christmas lights:

1. Inspect the lights for any damage or tears before hanging them.

2. Untangle the lights before you hang them.

3. Use over/under technique when wrapping lights around trees or railings.

4. Avoid wrapping the lights around itself while coiling them.

5. Hang the lights in a straight line.

6. Use clips or zip ties to secure the lights to eaves, trees or railings.

7. When storing your Christmas lights neatly coil the string with the over/under technique.

8. Store your lights in a dry and easily accessible place.

Here are some additional tips that may be helpful:

* Start by untangling the lights from one end, and work your way down to the other.

* Use a large, open area to work in, so you have plenty of room to spread out the lights.

* If the lights are really tangled, you can try using a detangling spray or cream, gently running your fingers through the lights or even a power drill can help straighten them.

* Be patient, and don't get discouraged if the lights don't get straight right away. Just keep working at it and you'll eventually get them untangled.
