Ideas That Make Christmas Lights Feel Totally New


If you're bored with solid colors, white, or even multi-colored strands, these simple DIYs make you see this classic decoration in a whole new light.



Glittering Strands
Mirrored garland amplifies the light from a strand of white lights, creating a stunning glittering focal point.




Glowing Globe
If you're looking for a more understated outdoor decoration, this globe is it. The surprisingly easy accent is made by using two outdoor baskets and a strand or two of string lights.




Glowing Chain
Remember those paper chains you used to make when you were a kid? This is the grown-up version, made with wood veneer and laced with twinkling lights.




Patterned Lanterns
Pretty cupcake liners can almost be too pretty to bake with. Instead, showcase the cute pattern by popping them on string lights. Again, make sure the light don't get too hot!




Painted Strands
Usually, your options for the wire color for Christmas lights are either green or bright right. Not anymore. A simple coat of carefully-applied spray paint opens up a whole world of possibilities.



Vintage-Inspired Reflectors
Craftier types will love this idea, which turns specialty metallic paper into retro floral accents that helps enhance the light of each bulb.
