| Does anyone have any ideas for Christmas projects? Tired of seeing the same storebought stuff everywhere. What about putting small clear lights on the glass totems, etc? |

You have a glass totem? Never heard of such in glass. Sounds like a lighted one would be pretty though.

| Here's something I did for a display garden at this years state fair. In case the photo doesn't display - I took two of the large sized tomato cages and placed them one inside the other (wedged in real good). I took small gauge wire and just sorta spider webbed the whole cage to make the openings smaller. Then I spray painted the cage (tower) black and hung small jeweled beads on it. I pounded it into the ground and filled it with glass rocks that I have as decorations in my garden. But you could fill the cage with anything - gourds, pinecones, ornaments, driftwood etc. I wove small twinkle lights in and thru the rocks of glass and then made a cap out of some liquid plastic (didn't work that well) and topped it off with smaller glass chunks and a gazing globe. But you could fill it with just about anything. Looked really cool at night lit up.
