    With the plants and gravel in place, the sitting area is all but complete. A pagoda lantern and soft illumination make the perfect finishing accents.

    Steps:

    1. Replace the furnishings in their predetermined locations, then add an Asian-inspired architectural element, such as a stone Japanese lantern (figure A).

    2. Attach low-voltage lights to the branches of the tree using zip ties (figure B).

      Note: Do not over-tighten, as this may damage the branches.

    3. Run the electrical cable to the lights, and snap the lights onto the cable (figure C).

    4. Follow manufacturer's instructions for attaching the cable to the transformer.

    5. Paint the cable and lights with a latex paint (figure D) the same color as the tree bark to help disguise them.
