Put two of the hula hoops together. Insert one hula hoop inside of the other at an angle. You want to divide the space into thirds.
Wire the two ends together.
Add the third hula hoop, put together the last hula hoop except for the last piece. Then, insert the hula hoop into the other two hula hoops and attach the third hula hoop on top of the other two.
Wire the three hula hoops together on both ends.
Spray paint your three hula hoops the color of your choice.
For the painting process, you will want to take your time. Do one side, let it dry, then turn it over and spray the other side. Once you have put your last coat of paint on, let it sit and dry overnight for 24hours.
Add your greenery strands with lights
Tie on the first strand of lights near where you wired the three hoops together. Be sure to leave some leeway for the controller as you will be setting the controller in a flowerpot.
Start to wind the lights around the hula hoop until you have come to an end. Tie the garland end to the hula hoop. Then, repeat this same process with the rest of your lights.
Place the sphere on top of the bird bath. Next, I put the light controllers in a flowerpot so you would not see it.
Cover the controllers with some moss or a bird's nest as I did.
I also added a flowerpot craft that I made recently where I placed a bird's nest on top of a bed spring. I just thought it looked cute istting inside of the sphere.
Another option is to place your lighted garden spheres in a large flowerpot, lay them on the ground in your flower bed, or hang it from a tree. Can you imagine three or four of these hanging from your tree? Dreamy! of course, you would have to be sure you had a remote for the lights.
