Introduction: DIY Battery String Light Ties
Hey, y'all! It has been a HOT MINUTE since my last tutorial! Haha. I moved earlier this year due to neighbor issues and it's been a little crazy ever since. But I'm back now! :D
Have your string lights been driving you up a wall on a yearly basis? They love to get intertwined with each other no matter how neatly you pack them at the end of the season? -_-Well, this DIY is for you! :D Let's go!
These ties work with any string lights, battery operated or plug in-I just used Halloween ones because it's spooky season.
Supplies
For this DIY, you need the following:
-Fat quarter
-Interfacing
-Scissors
-Glue stick
-Pins
-Washable pen
-Velcro
-Tie Template
-Matching thread (Or contrasting, if that's how you roll LOL)
-String Lights
Step 1: Tie Preparation
Grab your interfacing, fat quarter, scissors, pins, pen, and your template. Trace around your template onto your fabric and carefully cut it out. Cut a piece of interfacing.
Step 2: One, Two, Sew Up My...Tie?
Haha.
Grab your piece of interfacing and your tie. Iron the interfacing on, then sew around it, leaving a gap for turning. Make sure you clip your corners and trim off excess fabric.
Step 3: Topstitch or Bust
Now topstitch your lovely tie.
Step 4: Stickin' Together Forever
Cut your Velcro and tack it onto your tie. Sew it on.
Step 5: Who's Tyin' Now?
Tie up your lights and enjoy tangle free lights forever! :D
