Supplies

what u need:
one set of color or any colored lights
some mason jars I used baby bottles
some string
some old cords if u wanna get geeky like I did
and a burnt out light that u needed to replace
has to be near an outlet

String

take the string and if Ur burnt out light has holes where the screws go in then loop the string around them DO NOT TIE IT BC I did and it didn't work out for me and I had to restart
create as many holes as u can so u can add lights to it.
its best if u do it on the light.

Geeky Time

if y'all are like me then get nerdy get Ur broken cords like cell phone, Ethernet, cable, computer (back in the dinosaur ages), phone wire, anything thats a cord and its broken and don't have a box to weigh it down.
start hanging them in between Ur loops that you've made.
Ethernet cords or long cords need to loop twice if setting it a certain height.

Now the Pretty Lights

the set of lights comes in to play
make sure u have room to plug it in or u be struggling
start from the opposite end the negative side the one without prongs
and bunch it up and go through the holes you've made now its best to have a second person to help u hold the strings BC lights are heavy
also space the lights out so u have big gaps

Mason Jars

once Ur done with the light hanging plug the lights in and have mason jars ready now one set I would plan to have one for each gap or so since I used baby bottles I had go stick with it but take a knife or scissors and cut a hole big enough for the lights and the string to go in to hang them
now knot the strings three or four times and poke a light in the opening and do this for how many u may have
but make the lengths different so it won't look like crap

Now Ur Finished
