Materials:

two 4' x 8' pieces of lattice
white paint

Steps:

1. Paint lattice white. Once dry, weave grapevine, ivy and lights through it.

2. Put hooks in suspended ceiling, hang S-hook and secure lattice with a cup hook (figure A).

3. Hide the electrical works by running an extension cord from the lights under a ceiling tile to the wall just above a wall plug.

4. Cover the cord with a ribbon sleeve (figure B), then add a bow and a picture to further camouflage it (figure C).
