start with your lights. For dramatic curb appeal, go for traditional C9s; for that starry-night look, use tiny LEDs. Follow one color family—warm white, cold white, multicolor—but always test every strand indoors before leaving. Cold hands plus a burned-out bulb results in rapid annoyance.

Plug in your lights, lay them on the grass or driveway, and line them so they all point in the same direction. Snap the clamps on every bulb socket then, before climbing the ladder.
All you have to do once on the roof is fasten the pre-clipped rope. Not juggling lights while on balance like in a circus act. Every bulb fits perfectly, giving your house that clean, symmetrical glow everyone finds appealing.
Corners: No issue here. Use two clips—one just past the bend and one at the bend. It keeps everything neat and shapes everything. Mark anchor points on difficult windows or doors using painter’s tape. When you are not guessing mid-hang, you will thank yourself.

This easy approach helps you to achieve the glitter free from worry. Your house starts to be the one everyone slows down to admire; your fingertips stay warm, your lights stay beautiful.
