Fairy Lights!

Hi everyone!

I hope your day has been FANTASTIC and not full of homework and last-minute report writing like mine has...

But there has been an upside to all this! To cheer me up,my mum bought me these gorgeous copper-wire string lights I have been wanting for so long:

As soon as I got the box open and the batteries in!

They are battery operated (3xAA) and just turn on/off with a little switch. I got 5 meters but they come in shorter/longer lengths too. They have other colours, but I loved the warm-white (basically off-white) because it works well in any room and looks very feminine.

As you can imagine, I played with them for about half and hour:

Another artistic selfie!

TOTORO!

And then got down to business: I wanted to put them up in my room, somewhere that would look magical and light up the whole room. I tried against the side wall but it looked a bit plain:

yeah, too boring

Then I pinned them up along the wall above my dresser and around my little bookshelf and they covered the whole corner! They really do look magical ( I have included a before and after shot!)

Before...

After!!!

They work really well and don't heat up very much (unless coiled, in that case they heat up a LOT...) and wouldn't be a fire risk unless you left them on overnight maybe. I don't plan on burning my house down, so I won't be leaving them unattended! You can buy these lights here at a very reasonable price:
