So, back to business. I use my firefly lights for both Halloween and Christmas. Here they were on my Halloween mantle this year.
My cute little spiders are from Pottery Barn several years ago!
So that is how I use them for Halloween. Now for Christmas I put them on my side bar in the dining room and mix in my wood slices, candles and all of my mercury glass Christmas trees. Here is a shot from last year :-)So, let's get down to business. The lights that I used last year were a white string of lights however this year, I'm doing a couple of the green strands for the tree in my dining room. Here's what you'll need!
Yup, that's it....a pair of scissors, a string of lights, and a roll (or two) of tulle. I get my tulle at the Dollar Tree! #bigshocker #pricecheck It really is a great deal for a buck. I usually buy at least 5 at a time because I like to use them for many different things (garland on my tree, wrapping presents, hanging wreaths. You get the idea). However I digress.....
I cut them in a 6 inch section, however you'll notice the tulle is rather wide....
So then I flip it around the other way and cut it up the middle.
Then all you do is take one of the strips and tie it around the individual light and fluff accordingly. Isn't it so cute? Looks just like a little firefly, huh????
There ya have it. Easy peasy!! Grab a cocktail and turn on Empire tonight and get to town on your firefly lights. I'd love for you to share pics with me if you take on this project!!
