$9 Hanging Planter Turned Light up Ornament

Windgate Lane
by Windgate Lane
To avoid the big process of hanging Christmas lights this year, I came up with a simple, fun project! I wanted it to look like large ornaments in our hedges- so after some brainstorming I came up with this!
These hanging planters are super cheap at Lowes and Home Depot! I bought 8 of them because I wanted to make 4 large ornaments and each requires two.
I took off the hanging chain- and attached the two together with a couple of zip ties.
I then bought some cheap 100 string light backs (one for each) and wrapped them around- making sure I could easily access the plugs.
Added a bow and tada!! They look so pretty out front- and would be fun to hang them from a tree or in an entry way as well!
I didn't feel like doing as much outside this year, so it was a great compromise!

    @Windgate Lane how very clever of you. It looks great. I can see this also being used throughout the various seasons in different locations or perhaps leave where it is. Thanks for sharing - I had to share this clever idea too!
