Bright Idea #3: Glowing light balls

This concept can be used wherever you might already have lights hanging, or you can string some new ones over a window or around a room for party decor. Or you can give this idea to a holiday party host with the lights strung around a portable plant gift.

You'll need:

• Styrofoam balls (as many as you want to use)
• Christmas lights
• Light-hanging supplies if needed

My Styrofoam balls are 1-1/2 inches, and they work great—I wouldn't go much bigger than that or the light might not show through, but you could go smaller. This project would look great with balls of varying sizes!

Okay, there's not much to it—just stick the balls on the lights!

The lights should pierce into the balls pretty easily.

Again, different colored lights would look cool, too. The white lights make for a simple, winter classic kind of look.

If you are using colored lights, you might want smaller balls so the light will show through better.

I didn't have enough balls to cover every light, so I spread them evenly throughout.

This concept would also look very cool on your tree lights!

Happy holidays to everyone out there in craft land!!
