Dress Up Trees With Moravian Stars

To dress up your front yard trees you'll need: plastic or metal exterior plug-in Moravian stars; black zip ties; one 12' exterior extension cord for each Moravian star; one or two 75' grounded exterior extension cord per tree; a ladder; a camera; paper; and a pencil.

Snap a digital photo of the tree best fit for the Moravian star makeover. Tip: Take the photo from the street to determine the proper installation plan which will make the biggest impact from far away.

On a piece of paper, sketch overall placement of Moravian stars as they will appear once suspended from the tree.

Use ladder to reach branches and install each Moravian star in its intended position by wrapping the attached cord around each branch.

Plug each Moravian star into extension cords, securing each cord to branches with zip ties. Note: To avoid overloading a power source, limit six 12' extension cords to every one 75' extension cord.

Once all Moravian stars are secured to branches with 12' extension cords and zip ties, plug groupings of six 12' cords into 75' cords.
