I love fairy lights and use them in my boys room even when its not Christmas, so I’m always looking for fun ways to decorate with them for my boys. Fairy Lights are a great idea for a night light. So here is what I have found over at Oh Happy Day.
Oh Happy Day is a seriously envy worthy blog. A beautiful over talented ( I say that with much affection) American living in Paris she blogs on her daily Parisian adventures, crafty idea’s and favourite finds. One day I will be her (the living in Paris part; I cant claim to be crafty or over talented)
Here’s one of her christmas craft idea’s using fairy lights perfect for me and for the christmas season and yes its copy and pasted (just mentioning that for copy right purposes…I’m so lazy) but you can read it in person on her wonderful blog here.
Materials Needed: corsage boxes, string of lights, scissors, wire or pipe cleaners to fasten, wire cutters, cellophane rolls in different colors, tape
Step 1: Cut a piece of cellophane about 18x 18?.
Step 2: Wrap the string of lights in the cellophane piece making sure you leave the beginning and end of the string out so it can connect to your power source and/or the next piece of candy. This will create the “crackle” of the candy.
Step 3: Put the package of lights into the corsage box and secure it closed.
Step 4: Wrap a larger piece of cellophane around the corsage box making sure there’s enough left over on each end to create the candy shape. Tape it close on one side.
Step 5: Using the wire or pipe cleaners, twist to secure at each end of each side of the corsage box.
Step 6: Leave a few lights in between each “piece” of candy and then repeat until the strand runs out. Use as many strands as you’d like for the space you intend to use.
Step 7: Plug in and watch your candy come alive!
