Cut a small slit into one of the uncut long sides, and slide the beginning of the light string in it. |
Now start rolling in that center cut section. Just walk around the tree and roll as you go. You can fit quite a bit on. |
Once it's full, make another small cut in the side and slide in the end piece. I have it marked with"start" to make it easier to know where to begin unwinding when hanging lights the next year. |
Fabulous trick! I use a rolled up newspaper although my lights this year have blown for no apparent reason so we may be needing new ones.
