Sweetness and Light
Ambient lighting is quite possibly the single most important factor in making a house a home. This strand of summer string lights have the transformative power of turning an average space into a wonderland. Turn off loud overhead lighting and switch on some fairy lights – as cozy as can be, you’ll love how quick and fun it is to put together this simply stylish string of lights. Light up your life!

These will be such fun to make and use out on our grill gazebo. Can I find the vellum paper at craft store or will I need to send for from Cricut? Vellum paper like that isn’t available here in colors at office supply.
You should be able to find it at your craft store!
