Volleyball Christmas House

 

This project was so fun to design and make. Lots of things that light up from just a 10FT LED string (Link below). Look for up coming different sport houses!

 

If you like this one here is a variation of this:

Easy to print and put together. Presents are glued together and then to the main body.

 

Printing Tips:  Use Tree(Auto) supports for main volleyball ball house body, Santa Hat, Top Volleyball, and Mailbox. Use Tree(Manual) for Windows and Door Frame. Use Normal(auto) supports for House bottom. No supports for Christmas Volleyball Lights, Presents and Christmas Tree.

 

Highlights:

• Light up Christmas Volleyball Lights
• Light up Presents
• Light up Mailbox
• Light up Top Volleyball
• Light up Christmas Tree
• Magnetic Present Tag that you can customize.

o install the lights:

 

1. From inside the Santa Hat push the end of the LED string through the top hole. Pull 4 LEDs through this hole for the top volleyball.
2. Ball up those 4 LEDs you just pulled through and insert into Top volleyball.
3. Add Top ball to Santa Hat.
4. Pull the LED string down to the Mailbox light insert hole. I added the next white light to the mailbox, but you can use any color light you like. It also may not be the next white light, use one that can easily go into the mailbox.
5. Outside Presents: pull the next Blue, Red and Green LEDS through the bottom hole in the main snowball body. Fold LEDs and Wires so they can be added to the back of the presents. I made mine like a trident and pulled the extra wire back through the hole. You can also fold the wire up like an accordion for each present, we will do this method for the Christmas Volleyball Lights on the outside of the Santa hat.
6. Locate the bottom hole found on the Santa Hat. Pull a loop of 7 to 10 LEDs through this bottom hole for the outside Christmas Volleyball Lights.
7. Determine how you would like the 7-10 LEDs distributed around the Santa Hat. Fold the wires at each LED like an accordion until the wire between each LED is the length you like. Insert accordioned wires into each Christmas Volleyball Light, add back.
8. The remaining LEDs inside the house wrap around the Christmas Tree found at the middle.
