Ingredient
– Large plastic balls – Christmas lights – Glue gun – Glue sticks – Ribbon or string
Instructions
1. Choose the size of the plastic balls you want to use for your outdoor ornaments. 2. Take the Christmas lights and weave them around the ball. Make sure to leave a little extra cord at the bottom of the ball so that you can plug it in. 3. Once you have the Christmas lights in place, take your glue gun and add a few dabs of glue to the back of the light strand to prevent it from slipping. 4. After the glue has dried, tie a piece of ribbon or string around the top of the ball to create a loop for hanging. 5. Repeat the process until you have created as many light-up balls as you need.
