We have a new RV and are just getting into camping. Ive decided to make these and use them as Awning lights..instead of the tacky ones you see in stores..Plus I can change colors when ever I wish!!!

There was just an entry about using IKEA (already printed and painted) cupcake
papers over the larger rounder bulbs... target has them.. think Martha Stewart used to sell them, may still at Kmart.

Love this idea! And so easy to do! Thanks so much!

Poking a [filtered word] in the center of the paper might work with string lights with bigger bulbs. Just make a [filtered word] in the vellum paper in the center of the fold, take the bulb off and slip the shade on. Then put the bulb back in. I'd use only LED lights that don't get hot though.

I think the bulb is sandwiched between the 2 halves of the paper. Bit I was very confused at first too. I think I'd try simple paper clips to see if they'd work. It would be a lot cheaper than binder clips.

Love these ideas Martha and crew, but often times the directions are much too vague. We some times need more help than you think ;o)
Thanks!

Linda- it looks like the fold goes from the backside of the strand of lights and over the light bulb, then secured with the mini binder clips

The instructions are lacking, I enlarged the picture, but still couldn't determine if the little bulb was inserted through a tiny [filtered word] in the vellum or what. Where does the light bulb go? In the photo, it looked like velum was rounded on the bottom and formed a "bowl bottom" effect. Please be more specific in the directions. Photos of each step would be helpful.
Thank you,
Linda

lesvan -- they look like they are Harry Bertoia's classic Diamond Chairs. You can google it and get orignials or reproductions

Eco-friendly tip: use LED mini-lights.

Eco-friendly tip: use rice paper instead
