Easy Weekend Project: Make an Evergreen Ball
 As you're decorating the inside of your home this holiday season, don't forget to spruce up the outside, too. Brighten up your home's exterior and incorporate a bit of the garden with this festive evergreen ball.
1. Cut wire. Use a wire cutter to cut chicken wire to a 12-inch by 24-inch rectangle. Fold in the tips of the 12-inch wires toward the middle. Starting at one of the short ends, loosely roll the wire up and hook the short edges together. Hook each end together to form a ball.
2. Hang ball to build. Feed the 4-foot piece of ribbon and the heavy cord through the area where you hooked the wires together. Tie the ribbon and cord around something sturdy so the ball hangs freely. Arrange the ribbon to hide the cord.
