These easy DIY Christmas presents will make a statement in your yard. The gifts are made from fence panels, which can be purchased at your local hardware store. One of the presents is over 8' tall! To make these giant presents, you only need a few items. Christmas lights, zip ties, and PVC pipe. Follow along as I show you how to do each step. If you are using a fence panel with 4" spacing between each cross-section you can use 70-count commercial grade 4" spaced lights. All you need to do is cut the panel, attach the lights with zip ties, make the bow from PVC, and then you are ready to display it. Good luck with this DIY!
I have been building DIY Christmas decorations for years for my personal Christmas display which was featured on ABC's "The Great Christmas Light Fight" (Season 7 episode 4) and we were fortunate enough to win! Now I have decided to share my DIY projects with you! I hope you enjoy and have fun building!
