Thanks! I appreciate your kind words.
The idea was in Martha Stewart Living, December 2008.
It's pretty simple actually...take a wreath form (I wired two together with floral wire), spray it white and wrap evenly with Christmas lights (calls for 20 feet, so I got two sets of those "teeny" LED's) I velcroed the battery cases to the back of the wreath form and added a swivel D ring to hang with.
In Martha's, she used little paper bouquet holders (tussy mussies), I folded the doilies in quarters and poked a small hole in the bottom (before I poked, I laid a small piece of scotch tape there so it wouldn't tear through...anal!)
I just kept layering around the wreath form til it was covered evenly. I also dabbed a dot of acid-free glue at the base of the light on the final row for longevity.
Hope this helps! Have FUN!!
