Recent Activity


  • I added a bit of fun to my screen porch with an easy outdoor porch light!
  • I used 2 large & 3 medium grapevine balls. Two strands of white lights (50 count) with brown wires make these little orbs glow-a birch branch holds the lights and burlap ribbon hold up the branch!
  • I threaded the lights into the balls and tied them in place with garden twine to make sure the glow was uniform...
  • It's easy to get the lights inside the grapevine by gently moving the tiny vines apart.
  • Balancing a birch branch between 2 chairs, I played around with the placement of the balls (which are attached with twine) until I liked the look...
  • I ran the cord up the twine and connected it to a white extension cord that I hid between one of the loops of burlap ribbon which holds the branch. (the other end of the burlap ribbon is attached to the ceiling w/ eye hooks)
  • The light makes such a nice glow and doesn't obstruct our view during the day!
