Outdoor Tree "Ornaments"

I wanted to switch up my outdoor Christmas decorations this year, and decided to make some lighted ornaments for my large tree outside. It turned out...okay. I wouldn't call it a "fail" but not my best work. I think it would have looked much better if there were a lot more ornaments, but I would have had to spend so much more money on extension cords (one for every ornament...that adds up!)

I started out by cutting sections of chicken wire, and forming them into (roughly) round shapes. Then, I wrapped a string of 100 lights on each one. I used two red, two green, and one clear string of lights. I'm normally strictly a clear-lights girl, but I thought it would help get the "ornaments" point across better! 












Okay, I admit this was pretty much a fail, but it wouldn't be right if I didn't post a fail every now and then right?!
