Easy DIY: Toilet Paper Tubes Turned Into Party Lights!

Not too long ago I challenged myself to come up with a new use for an empty toilet paper tube. I was actually really worried that I wouldnt be able to pull this off. I really enjoy repurposing and creating, but I will be the first to admit my inventions arent always show stoppers. I think I managed to create something fairly fun here though and if nothing else, it was super easy! These lights can be used for any type of evening party or even an outdoor engagement party. To really make things special, use the couples initials rather than the word "love," or for a wedding, consider putting the date All you really need are the following tools: X-acto knife twine, yarn, or string LED tea lights tape Card Stock regular paper pen or needle Step one: gently cut out the letters of the toilet paper tube using an X-acto knife with a new, sharp blade. Its easier to pencil in your letter and then slowly go over the line with your x-acto knife. Its better to go over the same line a few times rather gently than to bear down and try to cut it all on one stroke. Step two: cut a few strips of card stock and tape them into the bottom of the inside tube in the fashion of a cross or plus sign. This is to hold the tea light in place. Step three: cut out a small rectangle of regular or slightly see through paper (I used plain ivory resume paper) and tape it in the inside of the tube, covering up the window created by the cut out letter. Step four: Use a needle or pen to thread the twine through each tube Step five: Drop in LED tea lights and hang up in a spot to be admired by all.
