DIY upcycle those old Christmas lights with a ball of yarn! Great for holidays, parties, or deck decor.

I found a bag of Christmas lights in the garage recently which the hubs had used to decorate his classroom this past year. Remembering that he likes to have string lights up, I thought it would be fun to upcycle the old lights to decorate for the 4th of July. (Why are we already talking about July?!? 2017, where are you going in such a hurry?)

It was a super easy project which just took a ball of yarn, a hook, and string lights. (PERFECT Netflix project!!!) If you want to add an extra pop of cute, you can whip up these little stars and hang them from the lights.

Happy 4th!
