Cheap Homemade Christmas Light Holder

I needed a cheap way to create a christmas light holder for some LED lights I got this year, so I came up with my own.

The holders in this instructable are very easy to make and cost about $2 to make four of them.  They are relatively sturdy and can be customized to hold almost as many lights as you would like.

Step 1 Gather Supplies

You will need:

• Foam Board - $1.99 each
  • You could also use wood or plexiglass but those are much more expensive.
• Utility Knife - About $5.00 if you don't have one
• Pen
• Ruler

that looks great!
just a thought.. is it safe to have the lights all coiled up like that? i was planning to bundle up some rope light and was advised against it as it would prob overheat, dont know if it would be the same in your case..

The holders are more for storage and not really made for show.  The foam board would probably melt with the heat of them being on for an extended period of time.
