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.
