Old Christmas Lights.

I'm going to be honest. I have been fighting to find posts to write lately. I am so busy with side projects, work and the fa la la la holidays, that I haven't even found the time to get creative with my posts.
 
I thought that today I would bring everyone some Christmas cheer, and give you some neat ways to use your old Christmas lights!
 
I am fully in love with the Holiday Season. Sometimes I even tend to get tacky.. During my morning Pinterest scrolling, I came across a pin about using your old Christmas lights (obviously the larger glass ones) as a centrepiece. This didn't really click in my head until I clicked through to the link and saw the loveliness that came up on the page. It was amaaaazing, and so simple.... I guess I should tell you what it was..duh Lauren...So basically these lights had been screwed off the wire and cleaned.  They were than coated in modge-podge and dipped in various colours of glitter. After they were dried, they got placed in a large glass hurricane that sat in the centre of the table.
 
Delightful right?

Here's what they look like:
