Illuminations..

Some of my favorite craft items are luminairies, either solar jars, or some type of garland lights.  Soo, after finding this great idea on Pinterest, and after planning yet another party at our house for this Saturday, I finally got all the necessary items and got to work.  Here is the original idea..

Found here..

Loved that idea.

Soo, I grabbed my box of 200 Dixie Cups,

an older book for the pages,

and cut out a template

using a cup that was cut

open and had the bottom cut off..

Wrapped my book page around each cup..

Cut a cross hatch opening on each one

using a serrated knife,

which really was easy peasy..

 Grabbed my string of white lights from

Hobby Lobby's wedding section..

  Poked each light through the bottom of the cups..

Strung them and hung them on the porch..

Turned out pretty well..  : )..

Can't wait for the party..

It's going to be a Shish-ka-bahbq..

We are having shish-ka-bobs with lamb,

pork, beef and chicken, with mixed veggies,

roasted veggies, and several other healthy

food items..

I'm joining DebbieDoo's Newbie Party
again this week.  Great host, great site,
great participants!  : )..
