DIY Fairy Light Frame
Make Your Space Feel Like Home
Are you living in an apartment? Living in constant fear of not getting your security deposit back? Cause honestly, same. I’ve been living in my apartment for almost 2 years and only just barely had the courage to hang pictures last week. Apartment living should not mean sad, dingy, living.
Whether you’re in college dorms or you’re renting a house for your family, we all deserve to love the space that we live in. Hanging pictures and decorating can really make your house a home, and there are ways to do it without having to break the bank for frames, or break the walls. This is an idea I came across on Pinterest and I absolutely loved it!
For this DIY project, I decided to wrap the lights around an empty frame. I started by taking my frame and deciding which orientation I wanted it to be. You can do both landscape and portrait, and luckily it is really easy to change up. I chose landscape because that’s what I had room for on my wall.
Then, I took the lights and before getting started, I stuck down my battery pack to a spot where it wouldn’t be visible, on the back side of the frame. I also wanted to make sure that the on/off switch was in a convenient spot so that I could easily get to it to turn the lights on and off.
To finish it off, I used my plastic clothespins to clip the photos onto the lights! I used the command strips to hang the frame on my wall and it worked perfectly with the battery pack. It's super cute and I absolutely love that I can change my Persnickety Box prints out quickly each month!
