In person, I'd seen Christmas balls hanging from large agaves and liked the look but didn't feel good about piercing my plants with those hooks. Then I stumbled across this idea online somewhere and did my own version. Cheers again, y'all!

I had a few leftovers, so I added them to the light pole/fire hydrant corner agave.

I love it, and your house is so charming!
Thanks, Pam! I think it's cheery.
I will be stealing this idea!
I love this idea and I think I will try it next year. I'll be shopping for some of those ball type decorations after Christmas. Bet I can find a good deal
Les and Lancashire Rose--Thanks!! (I stole the idea, too.) I'm going to shop for more of those ball decorations after Christmas, too, just so I'll have more color options in the future!
I need an agave to do this with! Well, I have a couple babies -- I'll need them to grow a bit. But I love the decorations. Happy holidays!
Adorable and fits you to a T! I'd seen this done in my neighborhood and loved the idea (they used all gold balls in contrast to the silvery blue of the agave). That said, I think I like your more colorful version even better. Definitely going to try and incorporate this into next year's decor.
Have a lovely holiday!
Meredith--Thanks! Hope your holiday season is lovely.
TexasDeb--Thank you, too! I originally thought I'd use just one (contrasting) color, but when I checked the Christmas box in the attic, these were all I had on hand, so I went with it. Hope your holiday is going well!
What a fabulous idea! I'll be doing this next year in the Hill Country.
I found you from Austin Agrodolce and look forward to enjoying Society Garlic in the new year.
Kathleen Scott-- Glad you like it! I look forward to checking out your blog, too. Thanks for stopping by!
What a neat idea! I bet you've started a new trend. Sounds like you two have lots of fun!
Linda--We do try to have lots of fun. I didn't invent the idea and can't remember where I saw it online, but I'll be happy to take credit for spreading it around. Thanks!
