What a simple and sweet way to do party lights.I absolutely love the colors.

{Supplies}

  • a pack of 100 Dixie Cups
  • scissors and an Exacto knife
  • scrapbook paper in desired colours
  • white Christmas lights (LED is best)
  • double sided tape
  • a pencil
{Process}

  1. Cut apart a Dixie Cup and lay flat on a piece of paper. Carefully trace the outline of the cup and make your light ‘shade’ cover template. You may need a few trial runs to get it right!
  2. Trace your template onto your scrapbook paper (making approximately 30 – 50 light ‘shade’ covers like I am holding in the one photo) and cut them out.
  3. Using your Exacto knife, make an X shape slit in the bottoms of the Dixie cups. Pop in each individual bulb until each light is covered with a shade.
  4. Plug in and voila! A gorgeous DIY light garland! Be sure to keep an eye on the garland when it’s plugged in if you are NOT using LED lights; they will get hot!
