I am all about soft lighting...
candles and whatever else can make a room cozy and comfortable
and while looking for a few ideas I stumbled across this really neat lighting shindig...
which actually can be displayed throughout the entire year and not just during the holidays :)
Well and I actually think that pretty much anyone can put this neat project together in no time,
even if you are a "DIY Newcomer" -
I estimate that this gorgeous piece of art-lighting will not take more then two hours tops...

As usual you will have to visit your local Art's & Craft store to get your supplies, which are...
- One medium or large canvas (seen for around $10.00 on ebay)
- 100 Mini lights, white (or colored... it's your project so you get to choose your favorite color)
- One small can of latex paint (color shown -> Pale Pink, but again you choose any color you like - preferably matching the decor in your room
- Craft clue
Here is how you do it:
- First paint your canvas with your latex paint (let it dry)
- Next plot out your design, either as it is shown in the picture above or let your creative brain run wild with your own design (i.e. cool & funky message etc)
- If you choose to go with the design above pencil the dots on the back, remember to keep them about a half-inch apart.
- Take an awl or another pointy tool and gently press through each dot to make a hole slightly smaller then the light bulbs.
- Press one bulb into each hole and secure each one with your craft clue
*** Voila - all done ***
