Planning a Halloween Party?  Decorating for Autumn?

I love using ping pong balls to transform any set of Christmas lights into the perfect accent for a party. This time of year, ORANGE is the perfect color.

Here are quick and easy instructions:

1. Assemble your materials

• A string of yellow or orange mini lights for Autumn
• Ping pong balls – Available at your local big box store or Amazon.
• A sharp knife or a drill driver with a 5/16″ drill bit

2. Drill a hole in each ping pong ball or cut a hole big enough to allow you to install a mini light

3. Pop those ping pong balls onto each light.

4. Hang them up and have fun!

Here is our video showing how easy this project really is.
