    CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT - how to make your own
    subtitle: Martha Stewert, eat your heart out
Here is an outdoor Christmas ornament that is easy to make and looks good. It is a three dimentional ball about one foot in diameter that lights up brightly.
Materials needed: 4 wire coat hangers, 1 string of 100 mini christmas lights, and a roll of tape (I found duct tape torn into 3/4" x 4" strips works best).
| Take 4 wire coat hangers | Bend them into a circle | |

| Tape all four hangers together turned 45 degrees apart. Bend the hook part of the hanger to align all four individual hooks to make one heavy duty hook.  | 
      Tape minilights to the wire frame. I found 3/4" x 4" strips of duct tape worked best. | |
