Halloween String Lights by Good Housekeeping

This is such a cute Halloween craft idea!! If I had a larger front walkway area, I would make these!

Cast a spell on standard string lights with quick-change DIY covers. Gather small plastic cups (mouthwash size works best), patterned scrapbook paper, one sheet of plain paper, scissors, double-stick tape, an X-Acto knife, and a string of LED lights (they'll stay cool against the cups). Make a template for the covers by wrapping plain paper around a cup, tracing, and cutting it to fit. Cut patterned papers to the template; affix with tape. With the blade, slice a small X in each cup's top to push light through.
