Diy Marquee Lights on a Dime
Say “I Love You” in lights! This project would look adorable in a kid’s room. All you need are inexpensive craft papier-mâché letters and a string of battery-operated white LED lights from the dollar store. You can find the letters at a better craft stores or online at consumercrafts.com.
Easy How-To’s
• Paint your cardboard letters and let dry. I chose a metallic gold for this project for a Hollywood Regency look.
Awl
• Use an awl to make holes in each of the letters from the back through the front. You can find these at craft and hardware stores for only a few dollars. Make the holes are big enough to allow the LED lights to poke through but snug enough to keep them in place. For this project, I used a string of 10 lights.
• To keep all of the light cords neat and contained on the back of each letter, you can use can use white gaffers tape. Attach your letters in lights to the wall with easy to remove Command Picture Hanging Strips for damage-free walls.
