DIY Tulle Flower Fairy Lights

Posted: July 6th, 2012 ˑ Filled under: DIY ˑ  3 Comments

I’ve been contemplating getting a set of flower fairy lights for quite some time now. But then I decided that making a set would be more fun :)

I knew that all I needed were a set of plain fairy lights and flowers. I could have bought pre-made fabric flowers that actually looked like the real thing, but I wanted to be a little more creative.

I then had to decide what to make the flowers out of… there were so many options! Paper? Fabric? and if so, what type?? – I very quickly decided that fabric was the way to go since I wanted these lights to last a little while.

The only fabric I could think of that would be stiff enough and allow enough light to pass through was tulle, so off I went to get some to experiment on.

As it turns out – SUCCESS! Tulle flower fairy lights are go! – So here I show you how you can make your own :)

Tools:

Tutorial:

Now repeat that as many time as you like. Place the flowers on all the lights or just a few to add some colour, either way, it looks pretty cute.

I tested them out on the staircase and I think they look pretty damn awesome. I bought 11 metres of fairy lights, so the possibilities of decoration are endless!

I have an ulterior motive for creating these lights and you will see them in it’s final placement in my next home DIY post :)

    Hi…this is such a creative idea. Id love to try it out for my daughters birthday….im just concerned about the fabric possibly catching fire bcuz of the heat from the little bulbs …. sounds crazy but trust me, with kids around one can never ne too careful.
