My latest recycle project. I used items on hand and paid about .50 for the two wire baskets.
I bought 2 of the half round wire flower planters at a yard sale. I fastened them together in the middle by wrapping a strip of cotton fabric all around. You could also use wire. Last fall I wove vines from my yard around the sphere. They lasted several weeks on my porch before they dried up. I crinkled the leaves off and left the dried vines.
This spring, I lightly spray painted the whole thing with paint I already had. It was a light sage green. Then I stuffed some clear, christmas tree lights inside. Mine have the white cord which should blend in with the light paint color. I wove new vines ( you could also use artificial ones ) on the outside. When the leaves dry I can always crinkle them off and add something new. For a hanger Im using a dog leash chain I already had. I can hardly wait to see this lit up and hanging outside my vintage Airstream camper!
