Here is the original cloud light and do you see that price tag? $1300!!! That's crazy and way out of my price range!

I started with a 10" foam wreath form from Dollar Tree and covered it with white crepe paper. You could easily start with a foam white wreath form as well.

I started with a 10″ foam wreath form from Dollar Tree. I added a little hot glue with my Xyron hot glue gun, adhered some white crepe paper to the wreath form, and then wound it around the form until the whole thing was covered. I added a little hot glue at the end to adhere it into place. You could easily start with a foam white wreath form as well.

I used a white slap bracelet to hold the battery pack of a LED light strand onto the wreath form. This would allow me to access the battery pack later to replace the batteries. I then wound the lights around the wreath form.

I added some fishing line to hang it from the ceiling. This would help give it the illusion that it is floating.

    Chas, I have seen these lights before, not that I thought I needed one, but especially not at $1300!!! I could see my granddaughters asking for one of these in their rooms one day and now you have shown me how easy they can be made! Great project and perfect knock off!!
