DIY xoxo Marquee Lights

Hello crafters!

It's been forever since I last contributed a DIY for LMP! I was so excited to come back to NYC this week to spend time with the team prepping for Valentine's Day. Luckily, Seri set me up with these amazing "xoxo" marquee lights by Heidi Swapp. The best part about these lights is that you can really do ANYTHING you'd like with them. They're a blank canvas, so you can use any craft supplies to decorate them. To give you some ideas, I've listed my supplies and showed you how I decorated mine!

You will need:

-The X and O lights, which you can purchase at Michaels. -Mod Podge, hot glue, double sided tape, or any other glue method you prefer -glitter, assorted papers, and fun washi tape- we recommend choosing a color scheme and sticking with it! We went with gold & pink.

Step 1: Remove the bulb lights from the letters so they don't get ruined. The bulbs pop off easily, so just set them aside until you're finished decorating.

Step 2: Start decorating! We went with an easy medium first, which was sparkle tape.

Step 3: If you're adding any fun papers, just glue it down, cut around the edges, and poke through the holes to make sure you can bring the lights back through.

Step 4: If you decide to add glitter, use mod podge or glue all along the inside of the letter and sprinkle the glitter over it.

Step 5: Once every piece is dry, add your lights back in and reassemble the letters.

Step 6: Put on display and ENJOY!
