ICICLE LIGHT STORAGE
SUPPLIES

INSTRUCTIONS
Stretch out plastic wrap to the length of the icicle lights.
Lay out the strand of lights on top of the wrap. Take one end of the socket and plastic wrap and roll it up.
Keep them from tangling by having the plastic separating each strands.

CARDBOARD LIGHT HOLDERS
SUPPLIES
Cardboard
scissors

INSTRUCTIONS
Cut cardboard into flat sheets.
Make slits along the cardboard.
Starting from the top, wrap the cord tightly around the cardboard making sure the light strand goes through the slit.
