Sparkly and twinkly– fairy lights are mesmerising. Traditionally, they’re used to bling up a party space or the household at Christmas time but why use them on only special occasions? Admit it, we’re all love these little pretty lights so let’s take a look at how you can use them all year round. Here’s our top ideas of how you can use them throughout your home –
Fairy lights
1. Intertwine Through a Plant
Light up any corner (or plant!) in your room, thanks to these battery-operated string lights.
2. Shape Into an Inspirational Word
Need a pick-me-up? Hang a well-lit quote or inspirational word in your room.
3. Fairy Light Jars
Our favorite country staple gets the holiday treatment in this DIY project: Simply fill a Mason jar with a bunch of string lights, then cluster together on a mantel or entryway table.
4. Framed Christmas Card Display
Rather than showing off your Christmas cards on a mantel, hang string lights within an empty frame, then clip your cards to it using mini clothespins.
5. DIY Copper Lighted Wreaths
This chic decoration is like a simplified Christmas wreath. Bend some copper coils into spheres, then wrap them with matching copper string firefly lights. Vary the sizes for a glowing mismatched display.
6. Mirror, Mirror
Another unique use is to twine them around the edge of your mirror to create some instant glam. You’ll be feeling like a Hollywood starlet in no time!
7. Look To The Stars
Which little kid (or let’s face it, grown-up!) can resist a ceiling of stars? Craft your own lighting wonderland using a little elbow grease, imagination and some trusty fairy lights.
8. Flash Photography
Got a bare white wall in need of some love? Print off a bunch of your favourite happy snaps, purchase some wire string from your local haberdashery store plus some mini-clips and get busy. After positioning, attach your fairy lights and bam, a gorgeous feature piece for your wall.
