An eye-catching lighting feature can greatly enhance a room’s aesthetics, but finding an affordable and striking light can be challenging. When deciding whether to splurge or save on distinctive lighting, consider a premium DIY option. Utilizing common items like string lights in creative ways can yield results comparable to expensive purchases with some effort. In this instance, crafting a statement sparkling sphere light isn’t even labor-intensive! We offer some tips on how to create your ideal lighting solution yourself.

Here are the essential materials and tools you’ll need:
Flexible Clear Plastic Cups (like solo cups)
A Stapler with Staples
A String of Lights. We recommend ourPure White M5 Mini LED lights or ourWarm White M5 Mini LED lights. With 70 lights, they provide the perfect sparkle for this project.

Simple, right? Here’s another tutorial that uses even MORE string lights. The more lights on your strand, the brighter your sphere light will shine. These white mini lights include 100 bulbs, but we advise using LED lights instead of incandescent lights.

Prefer a classic chandelier look? Craft a string light-wrapped chandelier. You can refresh almost any existing chandelier with a new string of lights! Wrap an old or new chandelier with string lights to create a lighting fixture for indoors or to give your garden and patio lighting an update! Keep in mind, you shouldn’t hang your new chandelier just from the light string; always wrap the lights along the existing weight-bearing hook or chain where it can connect to an extension cord and plug into a nearby outlet.
