    This is why I love white lights, they are so versatile! I can’t wait to do some of these with mine.

    I am one of those people that I love the simple white and clear lights so much that I buy them after Christmas when they are on sale and use them for other projects.

    This post is right up my alley! I am a HUGE white Christmas light fan.
    I actually dislike different colored lights both outside and on the tree.
    So, I could really use this post as a reference for myself!

  10. 12/08/2016 / 1:24 pm

    Love all these ideas! So cute and very creative! Definitely adding some of these to my Christmas decors!

  11. 12/08/2016 / 5:02 am

    Oh, I love the lights in the jar. It looks so quaint and pretty.

  12. 12/08/2016 / 3:30 am

    SO, my hubby stocked up on about 50 boxes of white holiday lights on clearance last year and then decided he didn’t want to put them up this year! Ugh! Thank you for these awesome suggestions. Now I’ll feel like we’ve got our monies worth once I start crafting with them!

    I love the look of white lights! But, never thought to use them any other way besides on my tree or strung around a window!

  14. 12/08/2016 / 1:53 am

    These are cute. I think I would do the canvas one in my house though.

  15. 12/08/2016 / 1:13 am

    These are great white light decor ideas and so super creative. I am loving all of that gold being incorporated too!

    The fairy light jar idea is genius. Our tree is prelighted so I have lots of old strings of white Christmas lights. They will be perfect for all these DIYs.
