    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!

    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.

    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!!

    It would be nice to streamline the cutting measurements and builds. Just painting the five rubber trash cans you could buy at home Depot, finding a boxed crate already built, stenciling the letters/numbers with a darker green paint, painting and using pool noodles from the dollar tree as the extension cord, for the bulbs... Just spray paint some oversized beach inflatable balls. Glue them down. (To keep the trash cans from moving, put bricks or gravel into the trash cans from wind)
