9. Pantyhose Lanterns
Estimated New Price (Four-Pack of Lanterns): $25.99*
Estimated (DIY) Cost: $50–60*
This is the logical development of A Christmas Story’s leg lamp. This is a horrible DIY ornament effort, similar to many holiday-themed Pinterest boards. Balls in pantyhose and hanging them was an innovative concept that was already highly unlikely to succeed, but when a copycat tried it, the results were considerably worse.

@Bored Panda/PPinterest: Pantyhose Lanterns
Pantyhose can hold an orb and hang outside with little to no harm, yet it’s astonishing how they will rupture at the first sign of a nail within one foot of them. Investing in inexpensive outdoor lighting is a better option because it will ultimately be less expensive than purchasing both bright orbs and pantyhose.
