Looking for a simple yet festive centerpiece this holiday season? Look no further, this DIY for copper wire fairy lights is so simple, you've got this! I actually made this plant in a house (it's a green house!) centerpiece for my son's bar mitzvah, and made about 20 of them in no time......the biggest time investment was trying to get all those metal frame houses back home. For the bar mitzvah I bought a bunch of flowering plants and placed them in white ceramic pots that I had on hand from the last bar mitzvah, and the results were gorgeous. Whether or not you can actually get your hands on a house frame like this one (mine was from the local discount store) the most important element here for your holiday centerpiece is the mini-LED fairy lights with copper wire. Some versions of this mini-LED string light are also water proof, meaning you can fill a mason jar or vase with water, attach the battery to the inside lid of the jar, and oh the possibilities! With or without water, wrap these tiny lights around just about anything, or simply place them in a bowl of fruit, and voila, your holiday centerpiece is ready to go. And just by the way, these lights are now available as solar powered mason jar lids which is perfect for an outdoor holiday DIY for mason jar lights project!
Ready to get started with this simple DIY holiday centerpiece using copper wire fairy lights? Let's do it!
- one metal frame house, or the object of your choice
- one string of copper-wire mini LED string lights
- a plant
- a nice pot for the plant, if necessary
How To:
Wrap lights around the frame, such that the thin battery pack can be taped to the bottom of the house structure, or hide it in the plant. Do spend the extra time to keep that battery pack out of site, and your centerpiece will be a huge success!
Remove any dead leaves or flowers from your plant, and make sure it is dust and bug free, and you are good to go. This is a perfect DIY project for an event that requires a bunch of centerpieces, now just go found those houses somewhere!
After the party is over, you'll enjoy using your little light up houses everywhere. And they are so easy to keep on hand for another version of this centerpiece when the need arises. Hang some little ornaments from the house, or even make walls for your house with cutouts......I think I've just come up with a great DIY Hanukkah craft, stay tuned for that!
