Hello there I’m Topsy Turvy readers!  It’s Mel again from So Festive!  The thing I love about Summer is all of the outdoor entertaining. And today I’m going to show you how you can spruce up your outdoor entertaining space with a DIY Party Cup Garland.

What You Need:

-a string of mini outdoor lights

-mini red plastic party cups

-exacto knife or other sharp knife

How to make your Party Cup Garland: 

Using an exacto knife, cut a small x on the bottom of the plastic cup. Then carefully push the lightbulb through the hole until it snaps into place.

Repeat until you have covered all of the lights.

Hang outside for your next party! What’s great about this lighting is it’s cute during the hours it is light, but doubles as lights when it’s dark.

Are you hosting a 4th of July BBQ? This DIY Party Cup Garland would be the perfect decor for your BBQ. Speaking of BBQ, if you want an alternative to traditional hot dogs and hamburgers, you’ve got to try this amazing Rosemary Ranch Chicken. It’s our very favorite grill recipe! Let me know what you think. I promise you’ll love it!

Get even more 4th of July ideas here. See you again next month!

    Thank you for posting this! These will be just a great joke gift to give my college-age nieces and nephews, and also for the ones that have just moved into their first apartments. 🙂
