- Our experience making lighted holiday balls for the first time and the Running of the Balls in Greensboro, NC on December 15, 2018.
DIRECTIONS:
1. While wearing gloves cut poulty wire into 2'x4' pieces with wire cutters.
2. Roll the wire into a cylinder shape and connect the middle together with the cut wire or other wire ties like zip ties or twist ties.
3. Start forming a sphere by rolling in corners and connecting them.
4. Roll outdoor light strings around the wire ball and wrap the ends into the wire to secure it.
5. Hang outside on trees. Balls can be chained together with extension cords (the higher the ball is in tree the better!).
The video was so fast but the main thing is the camera was way too far away that you couldn't see how they were made and what they were made from. I'm guessing chicken wire?
Yes, these are made from 3x3 foot wide chicken wire pieces which are then rolled into a sphere shape by twisting the cut wire together. I'll be making another video soon on how to actually construct them and hang them.

looks great
wow! i loved it! ;)
How do you get those balls in the trees and how many cords do you use? It is so so beautiful!!
We use kite string and tie end to a weight. Throw weight high over a branch then tie end to one of the balls and lift and tie other end to trunk. Be ppl use an arborist slingshot for really high ones. Thanks for checking it out! So much fun.
I made five of those
How long were the lights you used to wrap the balls?
I use two 100 string lights per ball.
