We have a little problem when it comes to putting outdoor Christmas decorations out. Mainly the lights… and the problem has four little legs, a cute tail, and some crazy teeth! Bunnies!! You will hear my hubs muttering as he chases them away from plants, etc all year long… which makes me giggle, but don’t tell him that.
They seriously chewed through our wires the last time we put Christmas lights out- that makes all of that hard work realllllyyyy not worth it. But this year I came up with a new plan- and they may still foil it- but at least it was super easy and cheap! Do I say easy and cheap in every post I write? Don’t answer that.
Fastest tutorial ever:
Here’s what you need- plant hangers- each ‘ornament’ will require two- so for my 4, I needed 8.
Twist ties… sorry no pic.
100 light string strands- man say that three times fast.
Take off your the chains- and then stack one on top of the other and attach in two places with any kind of wire or tie. And you have an orb!
Simply wrap the lights around it, making sure to keep both plug in ends in places you can easily find. I then attached a red, outdoor ribbon I purchased at Hob Lob to give it a little punch!
Now I just placed these on our front hedges- but it could be so fun to hang them from trees, set them on planters- then options are endless! And for about $9 each- it’s a fun accent out front- not to mention not near as much work as stringing lights everywhere!
Just a cute, easy outdoor decoration for the holidays! And here are some evening shots:)
Pin here to save for later!

Such an original idea! I love it.
Such a fun idea! My kids have been begging for more yard decorations, and these would be perfect!
