    I made a 50ft string of big c7 style lights using construction lights, big 10 inch plastic easter eggs,green paint, pipe insulation, and green plastic flower pots. I used a bucket for the plug and scrap wood for the plug.
    They light up, they're big enough to make a statement and best of all, they fit in a big storage container for easy storage!

    You are incredibly talented and a true example of how a person uses geometry practically. I homeschooled my kids and told them that they might actually use geometry (when they complained about having to learn it) - we would virtually carpet a room with lots of angles using one piece of card stock “carpet.” This example would have been more fun!!

    This is absolutely amazing! The amount of work and expert knowledge it takes to build something like this is respectable. I also love how you put lights on the tree behind you. We are those people who leave white lights on our house all year long. I just love the way it makes me feel to see white lights on a home. Excellent work!

  • @holidaylightingcreations
    @holidaylightingcreations  2 года назад +69

    Important note: After you have painted the bulb, make sure to use a clear coat to ensure the entire bulb is weather proof. It would be best to brush the clear coat on so you have a good layer. Do this on the socket top as well. I recommend spraying clear coat on the socket bottom.

    I love these so much I watched it 2 times. Initially I planned to make my own. But once I watched the unveiling of the giant piece of styrofoam, I quickly realized I don’t think I would be able to afford to make these. But I definitely enjoyed watching them being made and hope maybe one day come back to this video and make my own great job. Amazing. Creativity.!
