Holiday decor

Maybe on the Christmas tree? -garland & lights in one!
These are so easy to make! I made the ivory strand for June's baptism luncheon & the "sea foam" strand to add a little twinkle to June's room for Christmas.
Materials you'll need:
1 string of lights (I used 50 ct. white lights)
2 yards of tulle (I used 2 yards, but it could take more depending on how ruffled & full you want them to be)
Lace (optional)
Cut squares of fabric & tie them along the wiring of the lights. (Squares work better than strips for creating the ruffled look). My squares were approx 7-8" & I tied one on each side of every bulb.
For the lace version (ivory, pictured above), I cut larger squares of tulle, but instead of tying the tulle to the wire, I tied the tulle to the wire with the lace.


So pretty. Love how you take the most ordinary objects and make them special.

So cute! For the 2 yards of tulle, do you buy it in the spool that's like 6 inches or buy it like fabric?
ReplyDeletePlease help in how to tie the fabric around the lights to get those ruffles like in the picture..not too artistic :(
ReplyDeleteI agree! Please let us know how you tied the fabric to the lights!
DeleteCut them into about 8 in. strips (not squares) and tie them in bows!
Deletelove this idea! I pinned it so I can remember to do this this Christmas! Would be a great idea in my booth space too!
