Lighted garland looks great draped over a mantle, hung above a headboard, traced around the perimeter of the ceiling, and more – the options are unlimited. Below are ten string light ideas from creatives that you can recreate for an added glow in your room or on a patio. Use LED lights as they save energy and are safer because they generate less heat. Adhesive clips will help keep your DIY string lights hanging without leaving any holes or marks on the walls.
