How to make Christmas Balls Part 1: The Chicken Wire Frame

A video lesson from Tono or the "Teacher Formally Known as Mr. Guy." Christmas Balls hung from trees are "magical." That's what everyone says when they see them and they always use that same word. Be warned. These balls can become addictive. Should you succumb to this malady, don't blame me - I warned you.

My son-in-law and I actually made one ball in a minute and 45 seconds. Two is faster.

I made two other videos a few years ago that explain how to wire the balls and how to mount them way up high in the trees. I'll get those out ASAP.

One thing that I've noticed is that there are many, many techniques that you can use to make the balls and mount the balls. The important thing is to have fun with it and enjoy them.

I would love to recommend a video on YouTube about the Christmas balls in Greensboro. Watch it. It might make you cry. He really captures the spirit of the Christmas Balls: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hkf2DmF_-3w&t=85s That's awesome. Driving through Greensboro at Christmas is extraordinary. It's worth the trip!
