“i love the colorful bulb lights from lacase de cousin paul, but i don’t make it to france as often asi would like to and high shipping fees are not . my.. jam so i came up with a way to get the look with a few supplies that are easily accessible. from anywhere.” it was melanie of the wonderful diy blog whowrote this tutorial.

this is how to turn boring string lights intoa rainbow extravaganza by buzzfeed diy. all it takes ismod podge, cheesecloth, fabric dye, one strand of cafe, style buld lights, and *imagination*. (step 1:)

dye the cheesecloth in the colors of your choosing, following the directions on the package. and, allow time to dry. (step 2:) cut cloth up into squares large enough to cover the bulb. make sure to have enough squares for the amountof bulbs that are on your strand.

(step 3:) untwist the bulbs from the strand. take one, and cover it entirely with mod podge using a foam brush. (step 4:) take a cloth square and place thebulb covered in glue near the middle. (step 5:) drape the cloth around the bulb

and press down firmly to adhere trim the extra cloth. (step 6:) repeat steps 3 & 4 you successfully completed until each bulb is finished. (step 7:) let it dry, and then twist the bulbs back into their sockets. i know you might be thinking,

“wait, this is a fire hazard isn't it?”. the fact is, the bulbs don't reach high enough temperatures for the cloth to catch on fire. so try it out and bask in the rainbow-hued glow of your beautiful new string lights! thanks for watching this little diy. if you have something to say,
