undefinedundefinedDoes anyone know how to create words with rope lights? I've seen them from the road at people's houses and I think I will need some type of a grid. What could be used to make everything stay together?

Thanks for any ideas you may have. Happy Holidays! :) :)

i've seen messages written on a chain link fence. they put styrofoam cups into the spaces to write out the words, then they must have cut a hole in the bottom of each cup and inserted a light in each one. that looked really nice, i thought.

but i don't know anything about rope lights. sorry!

Thanks Annette for that great idea. I thought about maybe using pickett fence panels to wire the rope lights to. Just want a simple message for all to see: Happy Holidays! Best of all to you and yours. :)

You could try chicken wire with tie wraps or clips. Attach it to the surface you want to decorate or mount between two posts. Good luck.
