Wrap rope lights around outermost wire of star; safe strand with small zip ties (rope lights will not wrap an even number of times around the star).<\/p>\n<p>la103264_1207_cometht2_vert<br \/>\nDrill 5 holes into pine strip, spacing the first hole 2 inches from the leading and other holes 10 inches apart. Location binder ring in each hole.<\/p>\n<p>Connect 2 nearby outer points of star to tree trunk with big zip ties. (If required, thread zip ties together to reach around tree.) Trim tie ends. Connect remaining binder ring to inner point of star, opposite side fixed to tree.<\/p>\n<p>Attach strip to second tree by lashing it vertically to trunk with large zip ties, placing strip&#8217;s top 3 to 4 feet lower than bottom of star.

Pass light strand through binder ring on star, below left, and back towards strip, below right, plugging in more light hairs as required. Place strand through next binder ring down on strip, and loop it back through star&#8217;s ring. Repeat, completing at strip&#8217;s bottom ring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We hung our comets in trees that were 10 to 12 feet apart.
