Gather Your Supplies

• Fold Flat Light Ball with Wire Frame
• Greenery Filler or Garland
• Christmas Flower Stems
• Floral Wire and/or Zip Ties

Make Your Christmas Light Ball

• Your light ball will come out of the box flat. Simply expand the rings and connect to create an instant sphere.
• Next, attach the greenery garland to the inside of the light ball frame, covering as much of the interior as possible. We used zip ties to secure our greenery and flower stems, however floral wire can also be used. With either method, avoid pinching the light wires surrounding the ball by only securing stems to the metal frame.
• Once your greenery is in place, begin attaching the flowers to the interior and exterior frame of the ball. We chose to use hydrangea blooms to fill the interior of the ball where there were gaps in the greenery and placed our accent flowers, berries and pinecone stems around the exterior of the ball.
• Plug in and enjoy your new decorative accent light!

Create a one of a kind DIY snow globe for your Christmas mantel or tabletop display! All you need is an 8" Christmas Light Ball, a 6" floral foam disc, fake snow, and your choice of Christmas village figurines.

First, make sure your floral foam can fit around the support rod running through the center of the light ball by cutting a small channel halfway into the foam. The channel should be about the width of a ball point pin. Go slow while carving out the channel to make sure it fits snug around the metal support rod. From there, glue fake snow or cotton balls, ornaments, and holiday figurines onto the floral foam. Then slide the foam into the light ball, turn on the lights, and enjoy your glowing Christmas snow globe mantel decoration!
