2018 Decorations

This year added a few up-grades!

First was to install 2-different sets of 60 lights each string. These are the super small micro size LED that run on 2-C size batteries. 3-positition switch allows steady, flash, fade features.

Once turned to proper position you want , it will turn itself off after several hours of being on, then the next night it will turn itself on again.

Added Glitter glue to glue lights to tree.

To hide the light wiring I added a garland made using Shimmer Fuzzy Sticks. Wired together by twisting the ends to each other, gave a really long length to work with, was able to wrap whole tree!

Added some of the smallest tree ornaments that I could find. Will look for some blue, gold and silver to balance the red.

Full size Icicles have been added to cammo the wires as well.

Here is the Decorated Tree:

Old Santa and Sleigh from the Cannon site.

Rocket and systems are scratch built.

Modified Rocket Sleigh; What you think the Reindeer are all that Santa uses? Apollo was nothing more than a Secret Santa Project!
