Abstract

Disclosed is a lit string structure for easy formation of patterns mainly including at least one set of lit string and a foldable net. The lit string is fixed onto the net by binding each lamp holder on the lit string to strings forming the net. The lamp holder is provided with binding means for retaining electric wires of the lit string and strings of the net to the lamp holder and thereby easily associates the lit string with the net. Whereby, more than one lit string can be attached to the net to form different kinds of light sculptures. When the lit string is not in use, it along with the net can be folded into a very small volume for packing, transportation, and storage. The lit string on the net can be freely located on a wall surface, a door, a window, or in a garden or on a roof.
