DIY GIANT 6ft Christmas light bulb decorations!

[@holidaylightingcreations]

Since publishing this video, I have created a fiberglass mold for the bulb section so I do not have to use Styrofoam. The bulbs I create now have a fiberglass top and I hope to start selling those in 2024! Also, instead of using tin for the base, I now use PVC corrugated roof panels because I think it works better. If you are interested, email me at [e-mail]

[@melissahardy512]

Have you ever tried to find out just how much these would cost if you tried to buy something similar in stores?

[@someguy9778]

Would be even better if they actually lit up.

[@Auto33333]

I thought the same thing .. will take over the attic

[@ysbelbella6674]

Am I the only one thinking of how much space is needed to store these when the season is over? 😆

[@laurie4275]

And what sheet plywood alone, costs these days - never-ending the rest of the materials.

[@bettythomas5251]

That is awesome! You are so talented!!!

[@hallowcraft6492]

@@laurie4275 glad I'm not the only one thinking this! I'm gonna try to recreate this but actually cheap and easy 😅

[@SurelyLightFoot]

@@hallowcraft6492 inflatable bulb? Or wire and fabric bulb then they can be collapsed.

[@annlk9]

@@hallowcraft6492 yes pls🙈🙈 and can you also post it so can copy 🙄🤣
I’m sitting here thinking and wishing I was good with tools and how my husband won’t even fix the kitchen sink, how would I ever get him to make this🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🙄

[@louisebryte2714]

I clicked on this video thinking I’d be throwing these together with Dollar Tree items and some hot glue 😳 Boy am I out of my league, but you did a great job 👍😁

[@nevets8019]

I agree...I guess i'll take out a second mortgage on my house to make a few bulbs lol

[@lfay8177]

I made a 50ft string of big c7 style lights using construction lights, big 10 inch plastic easter eggs,green paint, pipe insulation, and green plastic flower pots. I used a bucket for the plug and scrap wood for the plug.
They light up, they're big enough to make a statement and best of all, they fit in a big storage container for easy storage!

[@Meat1469]

I was thinking of doing something similar

[@rlsharkbite]

Now that’s something I could do. This is the video I need! Seems more my speed lol

[@Brreezziie13]

Please share pictures and process

[@holidaylightingcreations]

Important note: After you have painted the bulb, make sure to use a clear coat to ensure the entire bulb is weather proof. It would be best to brush the clear coat on so you have a good layer. Do this on the socket top as well. I recommend spraying clear coat on the socket bottom.

[@staceycatron4185]

Nope. They are amazing, though

[@lynn6799]

Another thing to add: do not use can spray paint on Styrofoam. It will dissolve the foam.

[@doviereisner3057]

I was thinking exactly that lmao

[@melodywilson5255]

No way would i have the patience to make this! But it sure is fun to watch! Such a cute idea!

[@nancy9704]

This is absolutely amazing! The amount of work and expert knowledge it takes to build something like this is respectable. I also love how you put lights on the tree behind you. We are those people who leave white lights on our house all year long. I just love the way it makes me feel to see white lights on a home. Excellent work!

[@martiewallace9011]

You are incredibly talented and a true example of how a person uses geometry practically. I homeschooled my kids and told them that they might actually use geometry (when they complained about having to learn it) - we would virtually carpet a room with lots of angles using one piece of card stock “carpet.” This example would have been more fun!!

[@cydneylynch6858]

Your creative thoughts on these with how you have constructed them is Amazing!! Your lights are beautiful❤️

[@juliechlepciak6352]

I love these so much I watched it 2 times. Initially I planned to make my own. But once I watched the unveiling of the giant piece of styrofoam, I quickly realized I don’t think I would be able to afford to make these. But I definitely enjoyed watching them being made and hope maybe one day come back to this video and make my own great job. Amazing. Creativity.!

[@holidaylightingcreations]

Facebook marketplace is a good place to find cheap foam!

[@deannayoung5311]

I'm a woman who loves a man who decides to decorate for the holidays
That shows he's careing and kind 💞😁🧑‍🎄🎄🎅

[@sharonodonnell2147]

You don't mess around.
GOOD JOB .

[@gardeninggirl7300]

Wow! He made FIVE of those suckers! I love them!

[@CJsellsSoCal]

These are SPECTACULAR!!😍👏🏼🎄

[@ginwilcox9555]

Excellent! These are beautiful. Thank you for taking the time to do such an indepth tutorial. 🤗

[@kemarieblack3730]

Wow, these are amazing. Every year we add a new DIY item to both our Halloween and Christmas decor. This year is 5" 6" Gingerbread men but this is a huge contender for next years addition.

[@Lunacat33]

These are expert level. Look amazing but most people will not have this skill level. Great job

[@suzannebeyer5369]

These are incredible instructions. So precise and full of info!!!

[@asiaking9422]

Those are AWSOME!!!

[@marshannajohnson8584]

This idea is so cute and original. I would have never thought of anything like this. It would have been amazing if they actually lit up!

[@SurelyLightFoot]

Make them out of fabric and wire then they can.

[@dinky101]

Or you could paint them with glow in the dark paint.

[@geekemedia]

I'm positive someone could make giant epoxy bulbs that can fir smaller lights inside to make it light up

[@sdseals2076]

Just imagine if you could really have a small cord to light those bulbs, how bright they would be. 🥰

[@chaideelove1819]

Wow....Great job....

[@CptBlysWife93]

This an absolute amazing project!!!

[@Libbyjw73]

Your attention to detail is admirable. I love these. Instructions were clear and measurements and supply list were easy to understand. Thanks for sharing.

[@christys.5024]

Every detail! Down to the green letters

[@tammaragill9347]

WOW!!! What an amazing idea! Love it ❤

[@gte1340]

Round circles....the best kind of circles!😄😄😄

[@alicia78216]

Love it!!! They are perfect!! Thank you for the tutorial can’t wait to see more!!

[@jenna6256]

This is why I drive around and look at xmas decorations to find gems like this one ! Merry Christmas !!

[@davelowets]

As long as you don't try to steal them, like the women who were driving around trying to steal the 12' high Halloween skeletons.

[@ceasari]

its a labor of love!!! they look truly remarkable!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

So awesome! We love all things oversized. You did a great job on your construction. Love the detail on the plug.

[@holidaylightingcreations]

Thank you!! The DIY projects y’all do are incredible!

[@HodgePodgeHarmony]

All I can say is WOW…

[@acr8974]

I’m stunned they look amazing thank you for Sharing!

[@ashleyserene6846]

I will never be this cool. This is so impressive!!

[@sillysausage72]

Always wanted to do something like this, but didn't even think about using the foam. That's awesome!

[@byue3]

You are a TV presenter, host and personality.
You are a man with an incredible journey and an extraordinary destiny.

[@billymule961]

Use smooth sheet metal for the base and paint it brass color. Cut the "bulb" to the same diameter as the base and paint it bronze or copper. Paint the tip red or green and you have a giant display of a bullet for the next gun show.

[@deniseonthemove]

Out of my comfort zone. But i love to watch. One day ill be comfident enough to try

[@anniebarry7493]

So real. Awesome

[@NarubiPhotoCreations]

Woooooow that's an extreme DIY!!! It is sooooo impresive and excelent excecution!!!

Very very like this video,,,, thanks for making this video,,,,,,,

[@lorettafaulkner1194]

I thought about big Christmas bulbs but not like that that is so awesome. That was soooooo creative. You are a bad daddy jammer. You think really BIG!!

[@Shakashack2022]

What?! Not one bulb is actually lit? 😉 Mimics a real string of lights. Honestly beautiful work & the lit tree is gorgeous! 👏🏼

[@laurensaucedo1866]

This is truly awesome. Looks amazing and so lifelike....So festive and a lot of work you put in it. I appreciate you sharing it!!!

[@imonaroll9502]

For the bulb bases you can use corrugated trash cans to use after the seasons over.

[@RockulaRandy]

Outstanding. What a fantastic idea, and execution. That's extreme talent!

[@kentaroo.7759]

You do what you love to do. I don't have the space or patience and skill for this, but thanks for showing.

[@gailresources3970]

This is dedication! Truly an investment. I’m wondering if a wire frame with fabric stretched over would be easier. And for those of us who failed Geometry. 😮

[@juliablair4963]

These are super cool! Thanks for the clear instructions! Very inspiring!

[@remoil983]

This studio level construction!!

[@jacquelineoguin3728]

Genius

[@paultotten3740]

[@samanthaamaddox8505]

THATS ACTUALLY AWESOME!! And A LOT Of MONEY invested!! And YES! like someone else said… THE SPACE TO STORE THESE! But beautiful and LARGE!! Great job!!🎄

[@rmc1894]

Awesome I wish my husband was as ingenious as you are. He didn’t even want to help me put up an inflatable 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@737smartin]

...That's because inflatables are from the devil. 😉

[@duaneantor9157]

I like how the plug prongs showed up without showing how they were made.

[@lorettafaulkner1194]

I think you I pretty much on top with this!!

[@timfischer]

Incredible design and workmanship. Wish I had space for such a project!

[@christys.5024]

[@veronicawells7499]

Oh my goodness they are amazing! If I had half your talent I would attempt to make one. I love your video!!

[@cherylquintanilla5473]

That is so AWESOME... Thanks for sharing

[@jamesharris9352]

During the day time Im sure the display looks great!
Dang! That was a
ton of work!...
Maybe you could also create a set of bulbs that light up? 🤔

[@toddwright11]

I LOVE this design ! ! !

[@Amydani269]

This is genius! Love this.

[@carlschmiedeke151]

This is really cool, but now cut out the center of the bulbs so you can put an actual led light in them, so when you really plug them in, they really light up, I just think that would be really cool for a night display

[@brittanylevinson741]

These are so adorable!

[@InspiredMary]

You bring us the coolest projects!! Thank you!!🙂
