A decorative wall hanging includes a molded, substantially rigid shell formed of plastic material, the shell being shaped to provide a simulated Christmas tree portion with an ornament on the top and a base on the lower end. The shell provides a forward face covered by a simulated pine garland to simulate a Christmas tree appearance. The shell provides a plurality of randomly located openings surrounded by generally cylindrical bores. A string of electric lights is mounted on the shell with sockets supported and adhesively secured in the bores. The bulbs project from the sockets forwardly of the bores and are at least partially covered by the garland so that the light from the bulbs is diffused. The ornaments can be tested for compact shipment and storage. For larger wall ornaments, the shell can be assembled in more than one piece.
A decorative wall hanging comprising a rigid, molded shell formed of thin moldable material, said shell being structured to provide a substantially continuous forward face generally in the shape of a Christmas tree having an upper ornament and a lower base, said shell providing a substantially continuous rearward concave face defining a rear cavity portion, a plurality of openings in said shell extending from said back face to said front face, and a string of electric lights in said cavity providing light sockets in said openings and light bulbs projecting from said openings beyond said front face.
A wall decoration comprising a substantially rigid shell of molded plastic material having a substantially uniform thickness, said shell providing a substantially continuous convex front face and a substantially continuous concave rear face defining at least part of a cavity, said shell having a substantially planar peripheral edge, and providing a plurality of cylindrical bores extending substantially perpendicular to the adjacent portions of said shell, said bores providing an opening through said shell, a string of lights providing sockets mounted in associated bores, light bulbs extending beyond said forward face, and wire in said cavity connecting said sockets.
