Hanging light for the Atomic Twinkie
So, I picked up everything they had, figuring I'd use them as lighting in the Atomic Twinkie (our 1965 Avion H-24 travel trailer).
With the battery operated lights I wanted to make some sort of hanging light. I thought about using a hula hoop, but that's too big. I thought about a cross stitch hoop. Not quite it. I was watching thrift stores, garage sales, etc. but nothing was quite "it".
Then, while cleaning the yard I looked over at a metal hanging basket I had picked up last fall at an estate sale. DUH. It's perfect! So, I brought it in, added the lights and this is the result. I need to put a bowl or something in the middle so the battery packs don't fall out. I'll probably use something silver to reflect the lights. I would love to have one more pack of the atomic lights too, I guess I'll have to hit eBay for those. Anyway, so it's not quite done, but it's getting there. Would love suggestions for improving it. : )
