I decided I wanted a few more lights seen from the outside, so I bought a box of 120 LED mini lights. I wanted to put them in a recognizable shape, but I didn’t want to spend much time on them. So I laid them on the couch in a tree-like design and decided I liked it. I taped it together with shipping tape, carried it into my study, and taped it to the inside of my window.
It does look like lights on a tree from the parking lot. The light it gave out was too much for my cameras, but my eyes had no trouble with it.
Here’s a picture from right outside my window:
The wires don’t show up from a distance, so the idea isn’t elegant, but it was quick and it works.

What a fun idea. It looks cute.
Thanks. 🙂
Very cute and crafty!
xo
Thanks! 🙂
what a great idea – and makes your apt feel like Christmassy from outdoors…
We don’t feel the need to decorate in here, but it feels good to make the outside a bit more cheerful.
You are so creative…that is such a good idea.
Thank you. 🙂
I like it!!!
it’s fun. and cheery in the wintery cold night! xo
Thanks!
That was very creative, and we bet it is beautiful when it is viewed from outside. Nice job.
It was so easy, that’s the best part of it.
It does look like a Christmas tree from outside, what a good idea!
Thanks. 🙂
My husband used to wrap lights around the elk in the living room every Christmas. You don’t know inelegant until you’ve seen that.
Elk mount I meant!
I figured it wasn’t alive. 😀 That’s cute, for me that’s much better than elegant.
That is SO clever!!
😀
this is perfect. i love it… I have several strings of lights not in use, i may try this. and it will be easy to store, lie flat in the boxes i store in…
you said you have no convection oven. i am about to order one from Walmart, not in the stores has to be online. on sale for 109.00. it is microwave, convection and air fryer combo….. our microwave is ancient and about to die, so is the convection……
We loved our microwave-convection ovens and had them for years. We’ve downsized now because they’re too heavy for us to handle. The last one is sitting on our porch until we find someone we can pay to haul it and our two old Canon printer/all-in-ones away.
Enjoy yours! They’re great.
Cute idea! Whenever possible, I’m all about making my/our own joy.
Yes. I love the saying, “Sometimes we have to make our own sunshine.” What better use of our creativity.
Delightful idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love it when people “put on their thinking cap” and come up with a great solution.
It’s fun to do. 🙂
You have some snow cover!!!!
I love that toooooo!!!!!!
None here. March has come back. >:((((((((((
Yes, we had more last night. 🙂
I like it. Santa will too.
I hope so. We haven’t put cookies and milk out for him in years. 🙂
