When decorating for the holiday's you may find yourself in a situation of having more lights than your display can handle. Shortening your Christmas lights safely is just one of the options you have to keep your clean design intact.

How To Shorten Christmas Lights

---

Don't Cut

You never want to cut your Christmas light cords. This is not only dangerous it also will stop your lights from lighting up entirely.

Zip It

When the light strand is longer than what you need, a zip tie is a perfect solution!  Zip ties come in all different colors and they are easy to latch on and remove. Match the zip ties to your light strand set to disguise the tie from standing out.
