DYI Lighting Decor


Lately, I have been trying to think of cool new ways to light up my events. As we all know, lighting is the most important element to any party. Over the weekend, I did a whole lot of nothing. Enjoying my lazy Sunday, I watched a lot of HGTV. On the show ‘Design on Dime’, they had some amazing concepts that were very cost effective. Take a look at this lighting fixture- I think it’s awesome! You can find replicas everywhere, but I am sure it would cost you. On a tight budget? If you feel you have the time to design, here is a little DYI art project for you. This fixture was actually made by hand and it only cost $60 bucks!! You take a beach ball and any kind of string, this one is actually made out of raffia. You paper mache the strings onto the beach ball in any design you like. Wrap it around the beach ball and let it dry. Deflate the beach ball and there you have it your own new lantern. I think they would look amazing hanging in clusters over a table, a dance floor, or any other focal point in your event space. This is a great cost effective way to add lighting to your party. Moreover, it is a cool look!
