Hanging outside lights

[Toastandstrawberryjam]

Somebody tell me how to do this?

Please don't laugh at my ignorance....

I have two straight runs of guttering that I want to hang icicle lights from. They are above ground floor windows so not too high. What do I attach the lights to the guttering with? Is it even ok to fix them onto there? I've bought special outdoor battery ones so no need to run a cable anywhere.

And yes I know to some they may be tacky, but we have had a shit year and it will make my DC smile. Plus my STBEH hates outside lights......

Gutter hooks. Amazon has them. Hope you have a lovely, sparkly Christmas.

Home base or B&Q sell little plastic hooks that you thread the wire through and then snap onto the edge of the guttering.
It's easy to do.

Yep. Just s shaped hooks. Easy peasy.

Well I never.

STBEH told me years ago it was far too complicated and would take a whole day so I never asked again.

Gutter hooks. On the shopping list. Thank you very much.

10 mins if you get some to pass stuff up. Bit longer up and down ladder on your own.
You go girl!!

10 minutes definitely a bit different to a day!!

So excited I almost want to go and do it now in the dark in my pjs.

I got

Too eager clearly!

I got my gutter hooks from pound stretcher, think they were £1? Really good, lights held up through all winds at weekend

Where do you plug in outside lights?
Do you have to squish the lead in a window?

I plug them into the hall and the wire fits through side / bottom of doir

You can get battery or solar powered as well as plug ins.
