Did any of you buy some of the new LED Christmas lights this year? I bought two strands, thinking they might be fun to hang in the living room as mood lighting. As soon as I hung them up, before even turning them on, it was so "college days" it just wasn't going to happen. I thought it would be fun to leave them up through the holidays, until ... I turned them on. They give me a headache! They have the worst strobe light, florescent light feel to them. I feel like I'm going to have a seizure when they are on ... lol. I started thinking of something fun I could do with them to help tone down the strobe.
At first I thought I could make a cool peace sign for the inside of the house, but even after it was finished, the lights still bugged me. I decided to put them outside on the porch and spread peace to the world :). And add a little mood lighting to the outside patio!
Here's how it came together:
(still working with only an iPhone camera, so the pictures are what they are)

| PEACE! |
