Fairy Lights

A sweet way to brighten up any dull space.

My office is somehow getting drearier and drearier with the impending cold weather and I feel like it’s starting to lose a lot of its light, which is to be expected whenever everything is grey. To combat this fact I thought I would make some super adorable fairy lights to brighten up my space. I suppose I could have just added a lamp, but that would have been boring and required less effort so clearly that wasn’t the path I decided to go down. These are super crazy easy to make and really it’s just a matter of patience more than anything.

Instructions

    All you have to do is cut up squares of tulle, I bought mine on a small roll so I just unfurled the roll and cut, and tie it tightly around your string of lights. You don’t have to do anything special or make any specific knots, you just have to tie it. You could box knot if that’s your fancy, like I did.

    Continue this all the way down your string of lights until you get these cloud-like formations with little lights on them.
