I am all about soft lighting, candles and whatever else can make a room cozy and comfortable.
While looking for ideas I stumbled across this really neat one which actually can be displayed not just during the holidays but throughout the entire year.
I believe anyone can put this together in no time, even for a "DIY Newcomer" I estimate that this gorgeous piece of art-lighting will not take more then two hours tops.
As usual you will have to visit your local art's & craft store to get your supplies, which are...
- One medium or large canvas (seen for around $10.00 on ebay)
- 100 Mini lights, white
- One small can of latex paint (color shown - pale pink, but of course you can choose any color you like matching the decor in your room)
- Craft clue
- First paint your canvas with your latex paint (let it dry)
- Next plot out your design, either as it is shown in the picture above or let your creative brain run wild with your own design (i.e. Holiday message etc)
- If you choose to go with the design above pencil the dots on the back, remember to keep them about a half-inch apart.
- Take an awl or another pointy tool and gently press through each dot to make a hole slightly smaller then the light bulbs.
- Press one bulb into each hole and secure each one with your craft clue
*** Voila - all done ***
