“My house has eaves beneath the roofline. No gutters and the roof shingles were too wide for the universal clips that you can get from Home Depot or Walmart. The C Clips were just what I needed to get my C9 bulbs nice and straight. I definitely recommend them if your home has fascia or wood eaves.”

Get This Look: Red and White Lights Line the Roofline
We love the classic look of alternating red and white bulbs on a traditional home. This project uses glass C9 bulbs and cord with a clip tailored to work along shingles.
Materials
- 200 feet C9 Cord Green Wire
- 75 bulbs C9 Bulbs Clear Be sure to have a few extra bulbs on hand to use as replacements when working with glass bulbs.
- 75 bulbs C9 Bulbs Red
- 200 Combo C Clips
Notes
Commercial C9 bulbs are sold in boxes of 25 so choosing a favorite single color or alternating colors is easy.
Use one clip per bulb for a sharp line along the edge of the roof.
Test bulbs on the ground and be sure to order a couple of extra boxes to account for breakage during installation.
