DIY Party Lights

Lighting is the best way to set the mood for any special occasion. But you might not always be able to find the exact colors or theme to match in pre-made light strings. Well, now you don't have to. You can just make your own fun string lights to match perfectly with your party. We wanted to give you a little inspiration with a few fun and simple ideas to light up your upcoming parties.

Dixie Cup Light Garland
This is such a cute idea for a baby shower or bridal tea. All you really have to have for this project is cups, LED string lights on white wire and scrapbook paper to match your color scheme or theme. They are absolutely adorable. The guest of honor and all the other attendees will just love them. Check out the full tutorial at Hey Gorgeous Events.

Sparkle Light Canvas
Light canvases are so great for so many occasions. You can make any pattern you would like. You could even do names and dates for weddings. All you have to have is paint, a canvas and some LED lights. Inexpensive and it will look stunning. Check out the full DIY at Apartment Therapy.

Cupcake Liner Lights
We have all seen those adorable cupcake liners and think, those are just to cute to bake with and throw away. Well, with this super simple project you won't have to. You can buy those great cupcake liners and some globe lights to make a great light string for an outdoor garden party. What can be better than dressing up those plain patio lights? Not much, if you ask me. Checkout the complete how-to over at IKEA Hackers.

Any of these projects will fit perfectly into any party or special occasion. Try them out and be creative!
