DIY – Lights

Last weekend we went to Ikea and i picked up these chrismassy lights (actual name is Glansa with two dots above the first ‘A’). I’m all about lights and lamps really. And so initially i had planned to display them in a coiled up wire-sque sorta manner, on my shelf, beside my books (it looked nice in my head of cos) but when i came home to execute it, kwa kwa kwa.

So this is what i came up with.


This is an old photo frame also from Ikea i had since i was living in my old house. And i’ve kept it till now cos i had the idea of doing a painting and using this frame to frame it up but didn’t.

So this frame had a default “painting” in it from Ikea, i didnt take pictures of it tho. What i did was just to coil up the lights and place them in the center.


When i put out the lights, it becomes this!

And the colours of the lights change all the time so it’s pretty to watch and the colours aren’t harsh gold or white or blue. If lights could be described as gentle, these would be it.

I’m really quite glad with how it turned out.
