Outdoor Light Crafts

Summer time is when the DIY projects start in full swing. We like to give you ideas for accent lighting that will work in or outdoors during the warm summer months. Craft lights are one of the easiest ways to light small crafty projects that will last for season after season.

Lanterns are a perfect summer light, but have you ever thought that it might be fun to use lanterns that won't craft mini lights and lining your porch or walkway. All you will have to do is place the lights inside the to of the lantern and run the cord out to the outlet. These would even work great for lining the aisle at an outdoor summer wedding ceremony.

Summer wreaths with lights are great for making your front door more bright and inviting. Try using wicker wreaths and battery LED craft lights. This way you can add whatever type of decorations you would like. If there is a patriotic holiday approaching, you could add some burlap and American flags. This will really show your American spirit. If you are live near the beach or just love the beach feel, try using sea shells and ribbons in pale blue. Or if you like to have a wreath all summer with no theme. try out the letter of your last name and ribbon in your favorite colors. Any of these options and plenty of others would be great for adding a little festivity to your front door.

Tine can lights are another way to light up your warm summer nights. All you have to have for this project is tine cans, craft lights and spray paint. You can poke holes in them with a screwdriver to make a pattern or just randomly. Spray paint them to match your outdoor decor or to match the color scheme of a party. Then all that is left, putting in craft lights. The light will glow and give great soft lighting for an evening party or lounging in the backyard.

All of these little light projects will be inexpensive and really easy to make. They will be perfect for summer nights with your family or for a big outdoor party that will last into the night.
