Giant Outdoor Christmas Tree Ornaments

thingiverse

I craved large ornaments that could proudly adorn my pine trees in front of the house, fitting for Texas's grandeur. I selected thin wall 1/2" PVC pipe, easily bent with a heat gun using plywood and nails as a sturdy template. After shaping them, I designed connectors based on angles and edges of each ornament, taking into account the largest one standing at about six feet tall. A central pipe provided support, wrapped with color-changing LED lights that added a mesmerizing effect. Once assembled, packing shrink wrap from my local hardware store sealed everything in place. Clear duct tape reinforced the edges to prevent any movement. Finally, gold duct tape on top gave the appearance of a secure hook mount. After Christmas, I'll carefully remove the shrink wrap and disassemble the ornaments for effortless storage. Note: Be cautious during assembly; I accidentally broke some arms on the connectors and had to reprint them multiple times. Feel free to modify the connectors based on your ornament's unique size and shape.
