CONFETTI-FILLED LIGHT BULB GARLAND


Hey friends! We apologize for the late start to our week. Holiday travels and sick babies have kept us mamas busy! Christmas day is approaching, parties are still being thrown, and decorating is still taking place. If you are anything like me, the decorating never stops!! I just wanted to share a simple tutorial for the confetti filled light bulb garland I made for our wrap party last week. I love it so much, and I am definitely keeping it around for next year!


^ What you will need: yarn or twine, gold spray paint, clear light bulb ornament (purchased at Joann's Fabrics) and crepe paper (festive colors a must!) ^


^ Remove top of ornament and begin spray painting. Allow time to dry, and then spray the opposite side. I began working on the steps below in between drying times. ^


^ Cut crepe paper into small strips. I cut roughly 10 strips of each color per ornament. ^


^ Then, cut those strips into small squares. ^




^ Begin filling the bulb ornament with the confetti. I only wanted to fill mine about a quarter of the way. ^


^ String those lights!! Space your bulbs out to your liking, and tie a small knot to hold each one in place. ^
