Fact #1. The history of the string light starts with Christmas. Before the late 1800s, and the invention of the lightbulb, Christmas trees were decorated with candles. While they were pretty, they weren't exactly what you'd call safe. In 1882, one of Thomas Edison's close associates had the idea to replace the candles on his tree with a string of lights, which he hand-wired with red, white, and blue bulbs.
Fact #2. Today, new and interesting developments in string lights have become more and more common. This is thanks to improved technologies and materials, including LED and flexible plastics. Perhaps best of all, today's lights are no longer wired in series, which means that only one bulb stops working at a time.
Fact #3. String lights have come a long way from those green strands of colored lights many people put on their Christmas trees. Now available in a dazzling variety, they'll add to any holiday glitz, from New Year's to Halloween. To get the most from these versatile decorating tools, you'll need to consider what kind you need.
Fact #4. Consider integrating these lights into pieces that match the decor of your home. For example, if you have a rustic living room, then use branches or twigs with the lights. You might create a chandelier from branches, or use the twigs to help create a light-up tree pattern on the wall. Or, if you have a nautical scheme, use chunky rope with the lights to make a sailboat wall pattern.
Fact #5. Lights with exposed bulbs make great blank canvases. There are any number of ways to jazz these up by adding some type of shade. Try doilies, cupcake wrappers, origami boxes, or construction paper. To make a statement with rope lights, pin them to the wall in the shape of a word.
