Garden parties on warm summer evenings are a pleasure to look forward to. Here are 10 easy ways to decorate your outdoor space with light without breaking the budget.
1) Illuminate driveways, paths, stairs, pool decks, and dark corners with paper bag lanterns made from tealights and brown paper lunch bags. Place few rocks inside each lantern as anchors.
2) Make a small investment in easy-to-install solar path lighting. There is no wiring of any kind and the light fixture can be moved around as needed (around $30 each).
3) Place citronella candles and tiki torches around seating areas to deter insects. Make sure they are not too close to the food, as the smell can overpower flavors.
4) Lace decorative paper Chinese lanterns, or inexpensive multi-colored, themed, or bright white sting lights through railings, patio umbrellas, and pergolas.
5) Place candles, tea-lights, votives or fabric lanterns on buffet tables and bars. Remember to keep candles in a safe container or candle holder.
6) Float candles in bird baths, pools or ponds. Floating solar lights are also available.
7) Create dance floor by hanging mini-disco ball from a tree branch and pointing a spotlight at it.
8) Use retro lava lamps and fiber-optic domes or globes for themed lighting that's funky and fun.
9) Fill mason jars with about five centimeters of sand, then drop in a tea light for a safe but pretty light that won't go out in a breeze. Place a row along the side of a path and on each stair.
10) Adorn flea market or thrift store chandeliers holding tea lights and hang from an overhead support or canopy.
