Every year during the holiday time I am all about the string lights, particularly Christmas window lights. In the last few years, I’ve experimented with a few different ideas. I’ve done the icicle lights, regular strands of lights, but this year I decided to try fairy string lights.
If you’re not familiar with fairy string lights, they are small dewdrop like lights on a metal wire. They make the perfect Christmas window lights. The wire helps keep the shape and it’s very thin. Another thing I love vs regular lights is each light is in a tidy straight row. This looks a little more polished in my opinion. I also appreciate that they are streamlined and don’t feel bulky during the day.
How to Hang Fairy Christmas Window Lights
If you already have lights you want to use you can hang them with command hooks. Command hooks are my holiday decorating best friend from lights, stockings, and much more. They allow me to hang things without permanent damage. The only thing I will say is that I haven’t had good luck with the clips that come with the clear adhesive. I choose the white or clear hooks with the white adhesive and find it easy to remove damage-free as long as you pull to remove really slowly.
The other is buying these lights that I have purchased this year for my windows that come with these cool spool like clips. They also come with a glue dot type removal adhesive and really love them! These lights are also plug in, and come with a remote and numerous light options from flashing to constant. They come with two strands and 8 clips. I’m loving these Christmas window lights and the remote. It makes it soooo much easier to turn on and off instead of reaching behind furniture to plug or unplug or buying a bunch of timers.
However you hang your Christmas window lights, you want to make sure that the strands are on the glass so they are visible from outside. They look fantastic in a straight line from outside your home. These Christmas window lights were easy to put up and am loving the light they give off in the evenings. These lights make getting dark earlier just a little more tolerable. Happy decorating!
