Summer parties, sitting with friends in the garden until the morning: what could be better! But against the background of a serene rest at the cottage, the problem of illumination of the site in the dark day arises.
Avoid costly purchases of household lamps and lamps, as well as a fondant lighting with single light bulbs, a garland will help with their own hands.
How to make yourself garlands from light bulbs
Before proceeding with work, it is necessary to choose the desired tool and materials:
- wire (at least six meters). One two-core, but the variant of two single-core is preferable. If there is an opportunity, it is perfect for creating a garden garland, a twisted cord is perfect (it will give a stylish retro look);
- Cartridges and lamps to them (from ten pieces);
- screwdriver, nippers;
- fork;
- A flexible sewing centimeter (in contrast to the wooden meter, it is easier for them to measure the curved wire).
ATTENTION: The number of lamps for the garlands is selected at will, but an excessive amount of very bright light can cause the feelings of irritation, eye fatigue.
We collect garlands:
- For the base, the wire is divided into equal parts (in our case, 9 parts of 50 cm and one 1.5 m).
- The ends of the wire are cleaned of isolation.
- We connect one of the prepared wires with a fork (the beginning of the garland) for this plug is disassembled, the ends of the bare wire in the clips are inserted and collected again.
- Cartridges prepare for work. To do this, they remove the top.
- On the principle of connecting the plug to the wire, all the cartridges are connected. As a result, it turns out a long garland from cartridges with light bulbs.
