How To Make Christmas Light Balls in 5 Easy Steps
First step is to cut the hexagon sheet mes roll into 2×4 using wire pillars or a pair of scissors.
With gloves to protect your hands, connect the sides of the hexagon 2×4 wire into each other using their bases.
Bunch the open end of cylinder down about 6 inches by holding one end while you take in corners. Do this all the way around.
Step on the bottom to help hold it’s shape. Repeat bunching on the other side of the cylinder.
Final step is to connect two string of lights togther and string light strand through wire ball by weaving the strand in and out of hexagons. Make sure to leave enough length in the light strand to hang and plug into power source.
You can do this with grapevine too to make grapevine Christmas Light Balls, which we have done to display inside.
