Shine a light on it.....


Have you ever seen CandyLights? I love them. I just got two strands to dress up A's dorm room.
They are very pretty all by themselves but it's easy to dress them up, too.


They are small white lights that are dipped in silicone. They come in several colors.



I just got inexpensive crepe paper rolls and cut strips, in two layers, at about 12" long.


I then scrunched it......


wrapped the scrunched pieces around the lights...


and wrapped white stem tape around the paper and lights.


I love the two tones.


This is not their final resting place. They are headed to Amherst. I'll have A send me a picture when she puts them up.

  1. Well, these are a first for me...too cute. As for my sil, I am a woman with two daughters and love, love, love having a son...I told my daughter if they should ever divorce, I would wish her all the best, but I was keeping Jim!

  6. Why haven't I thought of this? Actually I know why, I don't have a creative bone in my body, but that's besides the point:) A local shop in my town sells something *very* similiar to these for like $65! I'm making these for presents...thanks!
