THE BRIGHT LIGHT PROJECT

When I first saw this bright light idea I thought it would be much more difficult than it really is. To find out how to make your own replica, just read more

What You'll Need

1. stretched canvas
2. paint
3. brushes
4. groundcloth or newspapers to protect your floor
5. pencil
6. awl
7. white twinkly tree lights
8. craft glue

You can find the complete Blueprint directions here. But read on for Angelica's directions:

* Start by painting a stretched canvas from an art-supply store (Blueprint used a pale-pink latex paint, I picked a light-gold color because the walls of my house are all beige.)
* Plot out your design by penciling dots on the back, keeping them a half inch apart.
* Gently press an awl through each dot to make a hole slightly smaller than the diameter of the bulb (the Blueprint creators and I both used white Christmas lights).
* Press a bulb into each hole; secure each with craft glue. (I skipped the glue step just in case any of the lights blow out.)

ENJOY! :)
