Your tutorial of explaining each step makes this project look absolutely doable. Especially since my husband has a gnarly, rusty pair of wire cutters just like yours! ;) Your calm demeanor makes you an excellent teacher.
Thanks so much for taking the time to video this project. It is the best method I have found for making these lighted balls. All your time and effort is greatly appreciated!!!!!
Freekin' FABULOUS! My only complaint? I wish I would have seen this in SEPTEMBER or OCTOBER--when I would have time to do this (you obviously have much more patience and lower blood pressure than I do) and have a beer and a few cigars on the patio while doing it. Using that thick wire to make circles and preform the ball to hold the chicken wire is a great idea, because after you spend an hour or two on each ball, you will want to be able to save them from year to year...it will need to be sturdy to store in the garage. Thanx for showing us...nice job too
My stepdad used to have us make these light balls in the painful "old fashioned" way with just molding chicken wire. I wanted to make some for myself this year, and I am SO GLAD I found your video! It would be nice to reuse the fruits of my labor instead of accidentally crushing them in a bag in the attic.
I was at Home Depot today and I saw it in the chain-link fence section. It’s aluminum wire about 6 gauge, size of half a pinky finger in diameter, or perhaps a bit smaller than a pencil in diameter. It is packaged in rolls that are about 2 feet in diameter. The roll I saw today was lowest shelf closest to the floor, if that’s a standard thing at Home Depot.
The best demo I've seen so far - the others have no internal structure so the ball has no strength and other demonstrators make light of shaping the ball which is, in fact, a nightmare! (Without the internal strengthening structure); Thank you!
WoW! Incredible! Best demo video! Thanks for sharing! I tried many other ways and nothing came close to how great and professional this looks. It takes some time to build, however the end product is amazing! I wish I could share some pictures! I hung mine from a huge oak tree in my front yard! It looks incredible!
@@User-sb7ky did you say in a previous comment what garage you actually used ? I seem to recall seeing you post in a reply that your video said 14 gauge aluminum wire and you corrected it saying 12 gauge. Can you confirm ? Thanks
@@esh1877 yes it is 12.5 gauge specifically in the fence section. a little smaller than a #2 pencil, thick and sturdy enough to bear weight. specifically for the circular structures, skeleton if you will.
holy cow! That's how you do a christmas light ball...I am not sure I have the patience or even the time to accomplish this but I am certainly going to try a smaller one. These are beautiful! Thank you for the demo!
You're welcome, Ryan! But honestly, I want to thank you. The great thing about this design is how sturdy and solid it is. Like you demonstrated, this ball can be made ANY size, but the bigger it is, the more support and durability the ball needs. With the right lights, this design can be very outdoor friendly too.
@@RMaresch35 Well, you *are* an electrician. With one simple connection, I bet those kids would kick it once - just once - and never again. Ha! Okay, just kidding...
Ryan this by far is the best video I've looked at so far to make lighted Christmas Balls. This video is very informative and easy to follow. You wouldn't happen to have another great video on how to make wire presents would you? Lol
Where did you get the main wire? Do you have a box or remember the product? 14 gauge? I bought 14 gauge aluminum fencing wire and it is not like what is in the video. I can't find the 3 foot diameter roll/hoops that he has and shows right in the beginning. Mine isn't nearly the same gauge as what he his showing (1/4 inch?) either in the video. And it came on a small spool, not in a box or a three foot diameter roll/hoop. Thank you for any help.
@@User-sb7ky how big is the roll? Rolls in HD and Lowe’s are about 8 inches in diameter, not 36 in or what is shown in multiple loops in his hand in the video. That’s the question. Large loops make this project way easier. I’m sorry to bother with these questions.
@@andrewbatson9924 Oh man, I think I’ve been telling people for years it’s 14 gauge, I should know better. I just looked on Home Depot website: 12.5 gauge 392 feet tension wire. Looks to be about $26.00
Thank goodness! Something different. Very nice. I love the demonstration and the clearness of all that you did. I have to say I love 💘 that wall and that fireplace absolutely beautiful 😍. Thanks for sharing 🙂.
Good idea. I may not have been clear on that point. These balls, when made w chicken wire and tie wire generally have many pieces you may use to fold over onto the lights to strap them w/o the need for many extra hooks. J hooks would work too!
OH MY GOSH!!! Your video is exactly what I needed 2 years ago when I first attempted to make my wire Christmas Balls. Your technique is sooooo much easier and makes so much more sense than just going out and getting the netting and trying to form it into a sphere-like ball with your bare hands....uugghhh...yuuuk!!! Mine didn't exactly look alike & I became soooo frustrated. However, after carefully watching YOUR WELL TAUGHT tutorial, I'm energized to give it another go this Christmas!!! Thank You very much for your generous time and patience in sharing your knowledge of putting these beautiful Lighted Christmas Balls tutorial for all of us to share!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and all your loved ones!! Lynda August
I like how you show how to reinforce the spheres. I was afraid of using just the chicken wire alone but didn't know how to reinforce. It's worth the extra time to make them last.
wow!! I made these for my yard last year for Christmas . I don't know when you came out with this video . but I came up with the same ideal last year. I made a lot them. around the summer and saved ever last ball . my yard was a hit on my street. Everyone was asking me about them. which I never post a video. But i'm glad someone did :). Also I have other ideals also :). I wasn't going spend alot money on balls in the store. I was just like you walking around in lowes too see what I can make balls with . but I cut minds with a lock cutter. much easier and faster and I use tie downs .. and all LED ligths . TALK ABOUT A SHOW STOPPER IN MY YARD :)
2018 i'm going all the WAY out :) bigger balls. MY HUSBAND COULD'NT BELIEVE I MADE THEM EVEN THE PEOPLE AROUND MY STREET :) WE EVEN HAD CARS HONKING AND STOPPING :)
Wow!!! That was the best, most thorough tutorial!!! Thank you!!! I was just going to start making mine, and boy am I glad I caught your video first! Merry Christmas!!! My children thank you!! ;)
Just to clarify if you try ordering any of these materials online, the wire is NOT 14 gauge. It's closer to 2 gauge or lower, possibly 00. 14 gauge wire is roughly .06".
Wow ! Very Nice, Strong and Sturdy looking. That will last for Many years to come. You are a Very Good Instructor, your voice is very soothing. I enjoyed your video. I am going to try and make some myself. Thanks for Sharing Merry Christmas 🎅🤶🎄
Andrew B: We need an aluminum or any kind of wire (product) that will make a simple circle. Usually found in the fencing section-possibly truck and tractor supply or local feed store (though I’ve never been in one).... a product that can be molded into a sphere, circle that will create a kind of circular frame to which we will attach the netting. If you can see in the video, it is the (aluminum) gauged wire that one would thread through a chain-link fence specifically at the bottom of the fence near the ground where the chain link fence and the grass meet, it holds the fence from waving, keeps it straight. Does that help? I’ll try to get a photo
Very inspirational. I had a couple of ideas while watching all that labour. Why not use tomato cages or old lamp shade frames? You could join the cages together to make various shapes. I'm definitely going to give this a go though. Thanks a lot.
Hey everyone! So sorry! I may have mislead on the “14 gauge fence wire”, so very sorry. I just looked on Home Depot website. It should be: 12.5-gauge 392 feet galvanized tension wire about $26.00.
Thank you for this update. I went to the store today looking for the 14 gauge and saw what looked like it (tension wire), but it was out of stock. I came home to search the web to no avail and then looked back in the comments to see you had made a change to the actual wire needed (12.5 gauge). I tried the lighted balls without the wire by making them with poultry wire and it took 2 hours and it ended up not being a round ball. So, thank you for this video. I’m sure it won’t be done any faster, but it will look much better in the end.
16, 14 will work, the idea is to simply hold the pieces of structure and fencing together. you could use zip ties, sandwich ties etc. a little spool of aluminum wire is great though, can get at hobby lobby or Home Depot type stores
Hello. Love the video. I want to make some for the upcoming Christmas season. I am a little confused on the 14 gauge wire you use. Can I ask where you bought it? I haven’t found any in the big circles like you have. It’s just tightly wound on a spool. Thanks.
I love these. I tried to find the type of wire that you used but had no luck. What is that wire typically used for? That may help me with my search. Thank you for your awesome and detailed video.
You rock thank you so much for sharring. I love all your videos. Thanks for sharring ❄ btw loved your beautiful lovely home , Merry Chrisrmas. God Bless us all 🎅❄🎁🙏Amen
Ajit, Basically go to the fence section in Home Depot. Grab some aluminum wire, about the size (width) of a pencil, it comes in a round spool about 18 inches to 2 feet diameter, (it may be 20 feet long but it is wound in circle). Then grab some chicken fence, it’s very pliable and not too thick. Then look for some tie wire to tie it all together. Hope this helps
Thank you so much for this vid. I'm gonna try for next Christmas. I guess I need at least 11 months to do it :-) Could you just tell me the diameter of the 5 largest circles and the 2 smallest ones ?
Thank you. Light color is rated in Kelvin (K). Look for LED lights that are 5000K or 6000K nominal. The higher the K value the whiter the light. The lower the K value the more red, orange color-hope that helps
@@User-sb7ky Thanks for the prompt response. My main question was “wire” covering color. I have green wired mini lights, but would like to use transparent wiring covered lights so the balls look silver during the day. What light brand do you recommend or provide a link. Thank you in advance for your help.
@@User-sb7ky Neither Home Depot or Lowes carry 14 gauge Aluminium wire. I found 14 gauge Aluminium electric fence wire at Tractor Supply. Will this wire work?

I’m 72, single woman and I am making 3 of these 3 different sizes…
You don't need a man to do these. Give it a try, you might surprise yourself.
These are gorgeous, and sturdy too. Thanks for sharing your method of creating these beauties.
Wow! Love the idea and thank you for the excellent instructions. Down here we call it chicken wire.
Thanks so much for taking the time to video this project. It is the best method I have found for making these lighted balls. All your time and effort is greatly appreciated!!!!!
Lynn Oski,
Awesome, thanks so much!
This is the best one I found on TH-cam
Six year later you are still teaching us how to play with balls😂😂😂 Thank you for this awesome tutorial! Will be making these this year!
It’s 2024 holiday season I need to make more, these that you see in the vid were trampled by cows where I store them in a barn
Freekin' FABULOUS! My only complaint?

Just went to Lowe's today and got everything I need to try this. Thank you do much for the video.
Glad it helped thank you
LOVE THIS CHRISTMAS IDEA. THE LIGHTED BALL IS WONDERFUL. THANKS FOR SHOWING HOW TO MAKE ONE. MERRY CHRISTMAS STAY SAFE. HAPPY HOLIDAYS.
Thanks!
Merry Christmas
My stepdad used to have us make these light balls in the painful "old fashioned" way with just molding chicken wire. I wanted to make some for myself this year, and I am SO GLAD I found your video! It would be nice to reuse the fruits of my labor instead of accidentally crushing them in a bag in the attic.

Thanks ryan, i went today to home depot and no one could direct me. I will look tomorrow. Or in other hardware stores. Hopefully i can find it.
Ryan, which wire are you referring to? You said to get 14 gauge aluminum wire & wire ties. What’s the 6 gauge wire?
The best demo I've seen so far - the others have no internal structure so the ball has no strength and other demonstrators make light of shaping the ball which is, in fact, a nightmare! (Without the internal strengthening structure); Thank you!
Utter fools, lol have fun
Best tutorial I’ve found
They look great. That room you're sitting in is beautiful btw.
Thank you! Merry Christmas
Loving it! Going to try it this Christmas. Your voice sounds so patience and soothing, making it so easy and enjoy doing it. Thank you for the vid!

Great have fun
Yes! lots of work but these will last for years and are such a nice look outside!

If you overlap the wire that much you can wrap the wire around itself and hold it together that way.
loved it thanks alot of work but worth it if you sold yours what would you sell them for??
$100-150 ish
Go to fence section of Home Depot look for the fencing wire

Ajit, Basically go to the fence section in Home Depot.
Grab some aluminum wire, about the size (width) of a pencil, it comes in a round spool about 18 inches to 2 feet diameter, (it may be 20 feet long but it is wound in circle).
Then grab some chicken fence, it’s very pliable and not too thick.
Then look for some tie wire to tie it all together. Hope this helps
Thank you so much for this vid. I'm gonna try for next Christmas. I guess I need at least 11 months to do it :-) Could you just tell me the diameter of the 5 largest circles and the 2 smallest ones ?
Pierre,
The largest diameter I made were about 3 1/2 feet, the smallest I made were approximately 12-18 inches
Great video. Can you provide a link to the type of lights you recommend. Most lights have white or green wire, yours appear to be silver.

@@User-sb7ky Neither Home Depot or Lowes carry 14 gauge Aluminium wire. I found 14 gauge Aluminium electric fence wire at Tractor Supply. Will this wire work?
