Instead, I prefer one show-stopping light fixture that becomes the main decoration itself and also sheds light for evening dinners. Since our sukkah won't be going up for another few days I shot this year's chandelier on our porch.
I put this together with a 26 inch hula-hoop and two packs of LED mini lights. I sprayed the hula-hoop orange to blend in with the lights.
It was just a matter of wrapping the lights around the hula hoop...
You may remember my light fixture last Sukkot. I made that one out of plastic cups...

Neat! This would be nice in various size hoops as well.
ReplyDeleteYes, the toy store had 3 sizes to choose from and I picked the medium. Thanks for writing!
DeleteMuch to the horror of my children, I own a gold sparkly hula hoop that would be perfect for this. (I remembered loving to hula hoop as a kid and thought it would be a great way to exercise. Never mind my current success rate.) I picked it up a few months ago at my local Walmart. This is a lovely fixture!
ReplyDeleteMine was pink sparkly before I painted it! It was really easy to make.
Deletegood idea! we just string our lights around the top - so boring! :)
ReplyDeleteI used to string lights around the top, too. I just took it one step further.
DeleteFab job Rita, I was just eyeing my hula hoops for some Succah decor too! chag sameach and thanks so much for sharing on Craft Schooling Sunday!
ReplyDeleteChag Sameach to you and your family, too!
DeleteI see that this is an old post and I don't know if you are still around to answer questions.....I love your idea and was wondering if you have to run the wire out to an electrical outlet or if these are battery operated lights or how exactly you connect to electricity with a minimum of visible wiring? Hopefully you can answer! Shabbat shalom and chag sameach
ReplyDeleteHi Marla, I ran an extension cord and plugged the lights into an outdoor outlet. Chag Sameach!
Deletedid you use this as your main light source?
