Marquee lights are SO super trendy right now! Mainly you see them as signs or monogram letters. I wanted to make something unique with my marquee. So I put it on a pillow! And the best part? You can still totally lay on it and it will NOT mess it up!
Lights on or off, this pillow definitely makes a statement. And, as you'll be able to tell in the directions, you can spell out any word in any color for any occasion!
Supplies: throw pillow, mesh tube ribbon (available in a variety of colors!), string of battery-operated mini LED lights, glitter glue, E6000 adhesive, Beacon's 3-in-1 adhesive, washi tape
Thread lights through the mesh ribbon. Seal the end with the Beacon's 3-in-1 to prevent fraying.
Glue other end of ribbon to the top of the battery pack.
Place a long strip of washi tape across the pillow to act as a straight line guide for making the letters of your word with the ribbon. Practicing spelling the word with the ribbon before committing to it with glue to get a feel for how large/small your letters need to be.
Glue the battery pack to the pillow so that you only need to give it a slight twist to light the pillow. The mesh of the ribbon is super flexible to allow for the slight twist.
Enjoyed the project?
