Transform an Ordinary String of Lights Into a Lighted Garland
1 Hour
Easy
I decided to make my own lighted garland after searching for one had me frustrated. I did not want to spend $50 for one single garland. A string of lights (aff), and some fabric and tulle I already had on hand, and I can make my own! It's so easy even the kids could help.
The first step is to tear your fabric into strips. My fabric strips were between 1 inches, and 2 inches wide. Ripping a plaid fabric results in a lot of strings but I love the torn edges. Just pull off any loose strings and discard them.
I used a cheery Christmas Plaid and white tulle. I tried burlap instead of the tulle, but I liked the bright white paired with the lights more than the burlap.

I am wondering how long the strips are, you say they are 1" to 2" wide but not how long they are.
Thank you
