DIY Jack O' Lantern String Lights

Jack o' lantern string lights

Getting my house decorated properly for Halloween means cutting out little pumpkins and putting them on string lights. Just a simple DIY project, just in time for Halloween. Although, I do love eerie and dark Halloween decorations I've seen out there... this year, I'm more inclined to sweet and simple. I'm hanging these above my desk, which is against the window so it casts neat little pumpkin shadows to those looking from the outside. Not to be creeping I hope.

Sort-of instructions:
Doodle a mini pumpkin on card stock as your template // trace on orange paper or cardstock // hole punch the eyes // poke the light bulbs through carefully // light and be merry.

    I can't believe tomorrow is Halloween already. Love your paper garland....fabulous and fun!! I'll file this away for next year. As I love white, maybe I'll try white paper pumpkins instead of orange.

      Definitely! There is so much room to be flexible and creative with this project! Like Cho said up there, it can be used for Christmas too. Little stars or Christmas trees? :)
