Soo, I saw this great party light idea on Pinterest (yes, I'm addicted and need a Pintervention, lol) that I have been wanting to do for a while. Little by little, I squirreled away my supplies. A few little bottles here, a few little bottles there, some floral tape from my Christmas White Elephant Gift Card that dh stole back from someone who stole it from me during their turn (ha! Bring back up to your White Elephant game! : ).. Hehehe..) and a string of white Christmas lights that I have had for.. Umm.. Quite a while.
Click Here for the link to my idea.. (Apparently, they do not wish for us to see their site unless we are invited, however, I believe someone so nicely included a picture of their project on Pinterest. Sorry website blogger, I will request a view and hope that you might forgive me for perpetuating your idea, but it was too great to pass up. If that is a blogging faux pas, I beg forgiveness from my fellow bloggers. And besides.. If you look at the link, it said "We all need these". I totally agree!)
Here is a shot of their strand..
I love party lights.
I love little shot bottles..
Ergo, I love little shot bottle party lights!
Here are some of my empty bottles,
no, lol, I didn't drink all of those..
I don't need that kind of an intervention..
: ).. Really. I know.. I'm a wineaux. Lol.
Stuck a light in each one individually..
Wrapped each with floral tape..
Turned the lights on..
And turned the lights off..
Some things I learned..
Use brighter lights..
Clear bottles..
And get a longer string
and more bottles. : )..
Other than that..
I'm pretty happy with how
this project turned out..
I am linking up with DebbieDoo's Newbie Party..
She's got great ideas and some awesome
Newbies on her website!
I also linked up with Cindy Adkin's linky
party at Whimsical Musings.
Thanks for hosting Cindy!
Thanks Jill! I love how they turned out as well! : ).. Woot!
ReplyDeleteThose are darn cute and you invented a new word that I think will catch on.... Pintervention!!!!
ReplyDelete~Bliss~
Thanks Bliss, I love those lights too. : ).. And lol, the term "pintervention" was not my invention either. I loved it though and could definitely use one! Lol! It was just way too funny and funnier that ppl on Pinterest pinned it there. Ha!
DeleteNow that is a cute idea! I will definitely have to do this for DH man cave. I better get to drinking...........LOL!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tina, I think they would make a fine addition to the man cave! : ).. I kinda cheated and bought small bottles of ones we had big bottles of. I opened both and poured my shots in the big bottles. But I did drink the ones I didn't have a match for the other day. : ).. Good luck with yours!
DeleteOh how totally adorable!! Thank you SO much for linking these up to the party!!!
