1. Start with a 45-inch length of 2-foot-wide chicken wire, available on just about any hardware aisle. You'll probably have to buy a roll and cut a 45-inch piece. Roll the chicken wire section into a cylinder shape and secure it by twisting the wire-ends together.

2. Now fold in the wire at the top and bottom of the cylinder to form something that looks like a rough rectangle. This step calls for patience. Just keep mashing the wire on each side until you have it in the shape of a ball. Don't expect a perfect circle; only the lights will show once the ball is hung.

3. Light it up. Plug together two strings of 100-bulb mini-lights, usually available for about $1 each. Tie the female end (the one you'll plug an extension cord into) to the top of the chicken wire glob with a few inches protruding. Then simply wrap the lights around the globe like its your Christmas tree. Tie the end of the light string to the chicken wire. Smiths' tip: Test the lights before you hang the globe.

Hanging: You're on your own here. Various methods of launching the tree balls range from attaching twine to a Baseball and tossing it over a tree limb, to fly casting, to shooting string into the tree tops with a potato gun.

Just be careful. And have plenty of extension cords handy.

How do you make a paper mache bald eagle?

Chicken wire makes a suitable frame for Papier-mâché. The openings can be a bit large though, so you might want to use welded wire mesh. Typically, you would use balloons for rounded area, but with the wire frame, you might want to consider foam balls instead. Picture the rounded area of the body and form these around balls as well. Then cut and cinch up the other areas and use light wire to sew up seams. Apply your Papier-mâché as you normally would.
