Using this photo clip string light is easy. First, gather 3 AA batteries and insert them into the battery compartment. Then, you can place the string light wherever you want to decorate, like around the wedding tables, in the garden, or on your fence. Hang your photos or small decorations using the 50 clips. Remember, the clips need to be put on separately. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry place since it's not waterproof. When the light stops working, replace the batteries. And if you're not using it for a long time, remove the batteries to prevent damage.
