How to Put Up Christmas Lights Inside

Step-by-Step Guide

   Step 1: Plan to use several strands of Christmas lights when you use them on interior areas.

   Cuphooks are cheaper than those hooks meant specifically for hanging lights.
   
   Cuphooks might not look as pretty, but they can also be used in the kitchen, so it still can be a stylish item to use to keep the lights hanging.
   
   Cuphooks should be used on either side of track lighting strands and at both sides of corner areas. ,, Use packaging tape sparingly for a few minutes, if the strand will end up cutting in front of any other objects until it reaches the first cuphook. ,,,, Rubber band/tie any unneeded (and definitely unsightly extra length of empty Christmas light strand sections that commonly end up at both ends of the used Christmas light strands. ,,
