This little diddy would also make a great, original gift! It only takes a few minutes, and everybody likes fairy lights, right? Right? Seriously, right?

Instructions

  1. Small 110118 185027 1315336915

    collect the lights you want to use. I choose these, because a big ol' frame fell on them several times, smashing the light casings to bits.

  2. Small 110118 190540 1315337002

    If necessary, take off any casings, until you're left with just the string of lights, like so.

  3. Small 110118 191509 1315337049

    Use your box cutter to cut 1 cm by 1 cm x-shaped slits through which you can 'shove' your lights. One slit per light. Choose the placement of your slits strategically, according to the picture in your frame, so that the light makes sense, you know?

    Voila, strategical placement...

  5. Small 110118 193447 1315337264

    Next, plug in your lights to admire the result.

    And hang it somewhere near a socket.

    Take your time to admire the outcome, after all, you did it all by yoursels. I'm so proud!
