DIY Fairy Lights

I bought three sets of Fairy lights last this Christmas. And it's now February and I still haven't taken them down. I love them. They operate off electric power but because they are LED it doesn't cost much AND I don't have to buy batteries. In the evenings I tuck the kids in bed, turn off the the main lights and just peace out with only my fairy lights twinkling on the ceiling. It's magical and I intend to keep them up for the rest of the year.

I have had a few comments like, "Oh, your Christmas lights are still up?". It's never a question. More of a statement. Then a look.

But I don't care. Fairy Lights=Peace. And at less than $10 a set, it's the cheapest way I know of making an entire room feel like a spa.

Fairy Light Ideas

String Light Photo Wall

We went on holiday last year and spent the night at a friends house. Her teenage daughter kindly gave up her room for our family. Now out of the entire holiday the thing that I remembered most was the photo display she had made in her room. She had strung a set of fairy lights and pegged small Polaroid pictures to the string and then run them across her ceiling. It was beautiful. I will most definitely be doing this in at least one of our bedrooms this year.
