May How-To from Stylish Crafts: Hanging Spheres
This how-to comes from Eleanor of Stylish Crafts. Eleanor has a book coming out with 12 lamp projects that involve Christmas Lights -- a great way to use your lights out of season. Her website features a host of crafty projects, kits and books!

Instructions
These spheres are made with two large plastic colanders glued together with coloured lights in them. The light should be twist tied to the top colander so it takes all the weight and there will be no threat of the bottom falling off.
Cut the bottom out of 3 of the colanders with utility cutters.

Use twist ties to attach the lights to the colander.


Poke a string through the holes and tie big knots in the ends, so they don't fall through.

Add a second same length string across the other way.

Put contact cement on the four handles of the colanders.

Wait 15 to 60 mins. before pressing the colanders together.
