HEART FAIRY LIGHT BACKDROP

DIY HEART FAIRY LIGHT BACKDROP

Are you looking for something to brighten up your love life? I’ll be the first to admit it; I’m a sucker for a little bit of romance! What girl doesn’t love flowers, teddies and enough chocolate to last her a lifetime? Whether it’s spending a cosy evening in with my other half or watching girly chick flicks with my besties, I love an excuse to get snuggled up in front of the TV! This is a super easy and cuter-than-cute heart fairy light backdrop to get you in the mood for love.

All you’ll need for this ten minute DIY project are some scissors, a pen, an old newspaper and, of course, one of our curtain fairy lights in the colour of your choice!

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

  • Christmas Lights
  • Scissors
  • Pen
  • Newspaper
A pair of scissors, newspaper, a pen and some fairy lights to make a valentine's fairy light backdrop

 

HOW TO DO IT:

STEP 1:

Grab your pen and newspaper and draw your best, most artistic heart on the top page, making sure it’s big enough to fit an LED through and small enough to sit in between the curtain strands.

STEP 2:

Once you’ve drawn it out, get your scissors and carefully cut out the heart – we like to do a few pages at a time to make it super fast. Repeat until you have the desired amount of hearts to cover your lights.

STEP 3:
You should now have a nice pile of newspaper hearts scattered around ready for you to cut holes in and pop on your curtain light. Flip your heart over, draw an X shape on the back and use your scissors to carefully snip a small hole in the centre of the heart. The hole needs to be big enough for the LED to sit in but not too big that the hearts fall off.
STEP 4:

Finish by gently pushing the LED through the hole in the newspaper heart and repeat this step until your curtain light is covered!

Once all four steps have been completed, hang your curtain light on the wall, up at the window or above your bed and fill any room in your home with a truly romantic glow. If you want to add a bit of colour to your heart fairy light backdrop just opt for magazine hearts instead of newspaper.

So, there you have it: a super quick and easy way to create a dreamy decoration for that special night with the girls or that romantic evening in with your other half. Either way, we think this is the perfect finishing touch to snuggle up under.
