Halloween lights

I saw this idea for these really cool Halloween lights and I just had to make them. My parent's party and having a "craft day" with my crafting bestie Gail gave the push and time I needed.

 First I needed a paper dixie cup template for the Halloween paper (provided generously by Gail from her giant Halloween paper collection lol). Then I started the arduous task of cutting all of the paper. 

 I painted the cup with mod-podge and wrapped the paper around it. 

 I alternated the cute paper and wrapped 50 cups.

 Now, my dad said that he definitely had a string of 50 lights somewhere in the garage but when we looked we could only find strings of 100. If I had 50 lights I would have just poked one light into each cup but instead of making 50 more cups I just folded the lights in half and poked two lights into each cup.

Here's what they look like when they are finished. I just {heart} them!!!!!! I think I'm going to have to make them for every holiday now. I even might have to use cups to jazz up my Christmas lights this year =)
