Bob Wingert Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Welcome to the insane-a-sylum!As a virgin too, I did my mini trees with floral easels from Michaels (Arts & Crafts store). They were like $3 ea, 36" I wrapped these mini's with 210 (3 strands, 70ct) and they are the 5mm. The look can be viewed from any angle. Here's a quick photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beeiilll Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I like G12 LEDs on my mini trees. They really "pop" and shine nicely.I use 42" tall frames from Val at Suprtec Novelties with strings of garland wrapped on first and then 2 - 70 count strings each of red, green, blue, and pure white.

(5mm, C6 and G12 have been used, and I vote for M6 LEDsThe question is, What kind of lights do YOU prefer, after all they are YOUR trees!Build them the way you and your family want them to be.

redsea300 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 It all depends on you taste and what you like. After all it is your display. I used g12 on my mini trees. on my tall mini trees I have 800 on them and the little 24 inch trees have 400. Under my how to page you can see them. Or you can watch my videos. Whatever you choose will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
