Q: How can I hang Christmas lights without damaging my gutters?

• <div><p>Several options for hanging Christmas lights won't damage gutters. Using shingle clips avoids any hardware contact with them, and using plastic gutter clips minimizes the likelihood of scratching gutters. Remember not to rest a ladder, especially a metal one, against the gutters, and use a ladder stand-off device or stabilizer if you need to use an extension ladder. </p></div>

Q: Should you hang Christmas lights on gutters or shingles?

• <div><p>You can choose to hang Christmas lights on either gutters or shingles&mdash;either option is fine. If you have gutter covers, shingles may be your only option. But, all-in-one clips are designed for both applications.</p></div>

Q: How do you hang string lights without nails?

• <div><p>Nails are a popular choice for hanging string lights, but they are not the only option. Use outdoor hooks, zip ties, or even awning hangers to string up lights outdoors. For indoor lights, use simple tacks, zip ties, damage-free adhesive hooks, or drawing pins. When all else fails, just wrap the lights around some furniture or outdoor fixtures. </p></div>

Q: How do you make a prelit Christmas tree light blink?

• <div><p>If you take home a pre-lit Christmas tree but want to spruce it up with blinking lights, don&rsquo;t worry, there&rsquo;s a simple solution. You can easily replace the light bulbs on the pre-lit tree with flashing bulbs. For a more subtle look, only replace some of the bulbs with flashing bulbs.</p></div>

Q: What order do you decorate a Christmas tree?

• <div><p>You should always hang the lights before the ornaments because hanging lights on top of ornaments can cause some to fall off. If a light sits directly on top of an ornament, it can cause it to heat up and possibly change its color or cause it to crack. </p></div>
