Using this string light garland is easy. First, insert 3x AA batteries into the battery compartment (batteries not included). Then, find a place you want to decorate, like a wedding table or a Christmas tree, and hang the garland up. Turn it on using the on/off switch, and enjoy the warm white light. Please note that this garland is not waterproof, so don't use it outdoors in wet conditions. To keep it in good condition, when not in use, store it in a dry place. Also, replace the batteries regularly to ensure long - lasting brightness.
