Light Up Your Space This Holiday Season

Transform your space into a winter wonderland this holiday season with these fun ideas from Blain’s Farm & Fleet!

It’s getting closer to the most wonderful time of the year! While many of us can’t wait to get our lights up and bring our Christmas decorations out, maybe you want to switch things up a little bit this time around when it comes to your holiday decorations. Whether it’s indoor or outdoor decorations, we’ve got you covered with some fun ideas that will turn your space into a wonderland.

Holiday Light Balls

Create vibrant Holiday Light Balls by forming large balls out of chicken wire and wrapping them with Christmas lights for some beautiful outdoor Christmas lights!

What You’ll Need:

• Chicken Wire
• Wire Cutter
• Mini LED Lights

Directions:

1. Roll out your chicken wire and cut it around 4ft. You can cut wherever you’d like to create a bigger or smaller ball.
2. Once cut, you will connect the two ends together by twisting the metal around each other to form a cylinder of chicken wire. We suggest using gloves for this step as the chicken wire may be hard to shape without gloves.
3. Now that you have a cylinder of chicken wire, you will begin shaping it into a ball by folding the open sides of the cylinder in. Have your wire cutters handy as you may need to trim in order to mold the cylinder into a ball. As you fold the wire, continue to twist the wires together to ensure that the ball keeps its shape.
4. You should have a ball of chicken wire at this point. Now you will wrap the ball evenly with lights of your choice. We suggest colored mini LED lights, but you can go with solid colors if you prefer. Make sure that the plug is outside of the ball so that it can be easily plugged in.

String Light Christmas Tree
