12 Gorgeous & Cheap String Light Ideas

The creative minds are always fond of giving their creative work a touch of lightning and this has been made too easy and quick with the help of string lights as they simply need a connection and they can add a lot of beauty to your creative structures, room decors, wall hangings and much more. Before these string lights were made common, it was not so easy to create this lightning effect to all of this above-mentioned artwork.

I remember that I first saw this idea, where someone used these 12 Gorgeous & Cheap String Light Ideas around their dressing table mirror and it gave the mirror a magnificent look. But now these lights can be used in many more unimaginable ways possible. Using these string lights behind the curtains is one of my favorite ideas. We can make our wall art look fabulous by placing these lights behind our canvas arts to enhance their presence in the room and on the wall.

Above all these beautiful strings can also be used all alone to decorate something or someplace without hiding them under or behind something as they look pretty but hiding them also creates an ambiance that no other idea can create. In this article, you can see these lights being used under seashells which is quite a rare thought and can look amazingly beautiful in gardens, backyards, and also on the door sides depending on your idea of placing them.

You can also hang them on the windows in different arrangement fashion either horizontally or vertically. Here we have also shown pictures of how you can use them inside the fishbowls and add some mosses and colorful stones to create a nice decoration piece to put on a writing table or our computer desks with some artificial plants beside them.
