Light It Up, Pinterest Style
Steps:
- Draw out your proposed plan on the back of the canvas in pencil. I really liked the design of the original image, so I tried to place my lights in a similar pattern.
- Start making holes with your paper piercer. I quickly realized that it was a multi-step process in that I first made a hole with the piercer. Then I took the end of a light and punched it through the hole, making it a tiny bit bigger. That allowed me to take the other fatter end of the piercer and make a big hole.
- Put a little glue around the hole.
- Push the light through and hold for a few seconds before letting go. Do this over and over and over until you have your desired pattern.
- Once you’re all done, use the super scientific method of securing the back with pieces of duct tape. Surprisingly, they won’t show through the front, even with black duct tape.
