They are about the size of softballs and are made of a sort of melted-together plastic bead. I've been trying to think of a way to make them look more tikified for the backyard tiki hut. The lights, and some craft store decorative netting. (Wish I'd straightened up the work bench a bit) Wrapped the top with jute twine. A length of split bamboo will hide the white electric cord. Installed along the end beam. Turned on - hope the bulbs last a long time, because I super-glued the twine to keep it from unraveling. [ Edited by: Tiki Zen 2008-02-18 08:17 ]
