I found these rattan balls at the Dollar Tree and thought they would look great
on a string of indoor/outdoor white lights.
The rattan balls come in 3 sizes and 3 colors. I decided to get the smallest size in natural, 6 to a pack.
I bought 3 packages The balls can be painted or dyed. You can even use colored lights for a different look.
The lights were a string of 100.
First I plugged in the lights to make sure they would reach the plug :) Strung the lights across my headboard and then came back across. I just pushed the balls over the lights.No need to glue but you could add a bit of hot glue if you prefer. I skipped about every 5th bulb.
I think it has a warm and cozy look. I think I will leave them up year round.
Let me know what you think.
