    This would be a great personal house-warming present! Did you experiment with solid color solo cups first?

    except for the ribbon to hang them I’m thinking about spraying with paint instead of the fabric. Anyone try that?

    I LOVE THIS IDEA!!! I've been looking for something to hang on my fence and didn't want the electric cords across the grass year round... this will work PERFECTLY! Thank you!
