You could zip tie the 2 bowls together, that way if the lights die, you can cut the ties and replace the lights and then zip tie them again. Might be easier than trying to pry them apart due to the glue. Just a thought.
I am Revamping our entire front yard this year. Three out e everything I had, so let's go!!! My vision is to do a candy land yard, but we have 2 One Hundred and fifty year trees, so I plan to show off those long branches with over sized balls hanging. This is perfect, but will use on the porch, so no snow get into the collendars. Thank You 😘😘
If you use a heat gun to warm up the Plastic it cuts better. Or run a soldering gun alone the edge to give it a track to cut along. Love this project. It’s so pretty.
You're a trip 😄 ... 💗 this DIY. When you said, there's a good reason I don't fold the ribbon ... because, I don't want too ... that was crazy. C/S - Plan to create multiple colors and spray paint the colander. Thanks again, GREAT IDEA and keep being real/funny.
Just added you .love the way you explain on how to make things. If you ever watched the show grace under fire ,you talk just like her. Love it. Thank you for shareing
You're so much fun! This is a great idea! Some other ideas... 1) Cut a very small notch out for the lights. 2) Put ALL lights in and use a white extension cord. 3) Spray paint the colander silver first (making sure to only use spray paint made for plastics.
You are like a breath of fresh air. Your presentation was good, to the point and relaxed. You did not put on airs just being yourself. Your project was great turned out beautiful. Thank you
I just want to say , I just picked up every thing I needed to pick up to make the colanders with the lights . I am so excited to make this , and I showed my sister and my best friend . They really like how you shared your video including the bow making. Thanks again .God Bless
Oh also... I have a hot cutter (for foam cutting etc)... That would work great to "cut" the handles off . Just an idea. They are only about 10 bucks, so, not expensive at all. And they work sooo good for cutting foam for cushions, pillows, styrofoam for flower arrangements etc...ya need one of those! LOL.
I just love dollar tree. I didn’t know that I could get a lot of craft stuff there. Thank you sharing the video. I hope I get to see more of what you make.
Amber, this help turned out so beautiful! I loved the ribbons you used; they are so bright and pretty. I would love to make a set of three and hang them together at different levels by my front door. As always, you made me laugh with your comments. Thank you for sharing your creativity with your followers. God bless you and your family.
I love these and ran right back to DT lol only thing I did diff was I made a hole in the bottom colander and pulled my lights through so it could be hid while on fireplace !
That was amazing on how you took two colanders and with the lights , so pretty and thanks for making it so easy to follow . The bow you made I love the way you had done it , now I know how to make bows also , this will also be nice with the deco mesh wreaths you have been showing us , . I have to make one of these . Thanks for sharing .
I did this and used a wood burning tool to cut the lip of the collander off and get closer to the edge, also used an upholstery needle to feed the stretch cording through the holes tying it as I went and just sewed the ligts on. Really a time saver! I added irridescent glitter and pink accessories to make it shimmery and viicorian. My Aunt loved it so much she took it with her and I didn't get a picture! Ugh
Well! I am proud two say , I just made two of the colanders with the lights, one for me and one for my friend when I see her on thurs, I am so excited to give this to her and I .plugged them in and they were so pretty and cozy looking , thanks again for sharing this idea and the bow video I had watched and thank u for making it so easy to follow .my husband really like them. I am so amazed with this , who would of thought to take Two colanders and add lights inside of them , thanks again, God Bless . Happy Thanksgiving.
Just to let you know I made one and I love it. I still have 3 more to make. But to cut the sides off I used my wood burning iron and it work great on the side handles. But make sure you have water nearby just in case cause it does get really hot. Just wanted everyone to know it works good. Thank you. You do great work. I love all the things you make. You explain things and show things really good
Love this! Was also thinking of doing this with the fancy clear plastic bowls in Dollar Tree's wedding/party aisle. I think that could be really pretty as well!!
Pretty. And nice idea. Suggestion; May be easier if you thread the cord with a darning needle and attach the lights by running the cord through the holes. you can still knot your cord without cutting it 'til you are finished. Or not. This way you won't cut and tie.
Hi there. Good morning and God Bless. I love your work, it is do simple yet so Gorgeous. My husband and I love your personality, you are so down to earth, we love watching your video. My hubby is very supportive with me doing DIY. I'm looking forward in trying to do some of your work and hopefully be able to send you a pic of the end result. Again, thank you for your videos. Have a Bless day.
I’ve always struggled with bows and refuse to make them for the most part. Now I can’t wait until tomorrow to try and make one like this lol thank you!
I LOVE THIS!!!! I do the decorations for the church...these will be perfect to hang from the back wall!!! I don't think I can do lights for those...but...I can have some on the back wall ledge with lights! Oh my goodness!!! I am so excited about these!!!
OMG I thought pasta was on the agenda. Hey girl, what a gorgeous diy. It’s nice to know that the lights don’t get hot LED because that’s plastic.Using that cord it’s nice it’ can’t be seen and no worry overheating it. You did a great job as always, and we thank you💖👍👍👍❤️❤️🌲🌲🌲🎄🎄🎄🌸🌸🎀🎀⭐️
I absolutely love, love, love this amazing idea!!!! Thank You for sharing this genius idea!! I fell in love with it and decided to make one myself. I am so proud at how it turned out, I'm making 4 more. They look so beautiful and all my neighbors have stopped by just to comment on them. Thanks so much!! Happy Holidays to you and yours.

*Another great idea!!!*
Thank you I love her Craft I was wondering how do it if lights dies . I saw someone cut a hole and cover it with white felt underneath..
or just use the same Stretch Magic cord you use to tie the lights on.
New sub. Love the way you just jump on in making your craft and not talk about doing it for 10 mins. Love all your crafts. 👍
Yessss.. I agree. Too many give too long of an intro or spend tooooo many minutes in describing the item. Just get into it now.. Lol
Yes!
See how many up votes it's getting! Lots of us feel the same way.
Yes I agree
Amen
I love the Christmas bulb.

I think a Candyland yard would be so beautiful 💜
If you use a heat gun to warm up the Plastic it cuts better. Or run a soldering gun alone the edge to give it a track to cut along. Love this project. It’s so pretty.
You are so real and funny !! I love it, very natural !! "Crammin it in there" is priceless.!!
The way you make bows is by far, the best method. I only saw this method once on another crafter’s page and I thought it was the best. Brilliant!
As Vickie Howell always says on her videos YOU DO YOU. Everyone is different (bow makers) but they are all beautiful. I love your creation.

My jaw dropped when I saw how you made the bow! I am a novice crafter and that was amazingly simple! Thank you!!! Such a unique wreath!
Facebook
Really nice and very creative!!!! Thank you for being here.
I love the way you talk. You sound like a cousin of mine.
Not only is the colander gorgeous, you're hilarious...so I subscribed.
You take everyday items and make them beautiful, I love this idea I will have to try and make one if I have time.
100 lights... "You'll be able to see this sucker from the moon!" We share the same sense of humor. Instantly subscribed!
I was thinking the same thing but my house is 450 ft from the road so 100 is perfect.
You are sooooo funny, you're brightening up a rainy, horrid day in Scotland. Thank you 😊 X
I like this, I would cut a small hole in the bottom of the bottom strainer to feed the light plug through.
Love the Callander ornament
I'm going to make one of these for my daughter! I love the simplicity in your bows. Thank you for the tutorial.
You're so much fun! This is a great idea! Some other ideas... 1) Cut a very small notch out for the lights. 2) Put ALL lights in and use a white extension cord. 3) Spray paint the colander silver first (making sure to only use spray paint made for plastics.

I love the ribbon bow.
Looks like a huge jingle bell, that would be nice to put jingle bells in side. Very nice 👍🏻👍🏻🎄🤜🤛
A great idea! I love the colors you used in your ribbons. It could also be put together with 2 more colanders to make a snowman!
That’s a good idea!
