Instructions
- To get the frame for my cloud I bent a metal wire hanger in the cloud shape I wanted. You’ll need some strength and patience to finish this step.
- After that I started wrapping my lights around the wire (I went around two times).
- If you would like another color of your wire you could always spray paint it first.
- Leave the end of cord (the part without lights) so that the controller will reach a spot to rest on.
(Please remember that cords can be a strangulation hazard for small children.)
