Allow the the heat of the gun to melt the holes. Take each of your bowls and using an “old” empty glue gun and melt a circle of holes in the bottom of each of the bowls. YES, you can use one string of lights, but I like to set each one to a different display (see tips below). They also have eight different light functions so you can pick what you like the best. NOTE: The battery lights I use have a timer function so they come on each night for six hours and then go off for eighteen hours. The additional items you will need to make an ornament will be adhesive, sandpaper, battery operated lights, a glue gun, and “old” glue gun and some wire cutters. You will simply use that to hold your battery packs beneath the first bowl so you can lift and move the entire ornament without the battery packs from the lights pulling the strings back down out of your bowls. You don’t have to have a tray for a base for your towering ornament, but I like to use one. You will want to buy five of these bowls. This bowl measures eight and a half inches across the top of the open bowl and is three and three quarters inches tall. To recreate the same ornament that I did, you will want to buy four of this one. This one measures eleven inches across the top open part and is just four inches high. The larger of the two bowls is more ornate with designs in it. These are the bowls that I used to create these ornaments. If you cannot find these exact bowls, I have some tips for you I will share at the end of this post. I was able to purchase these bowls for $1.00 each. No matter if your Dollar Tree has already raised their prices to $1.25 as they are threatening, this is still a bargain project as long as you find a great bargain on the bowls.
