Snowflakes? Geometric flowers? Something like that. I wanted to make our boring Christmas lights more interesting and also protect them when they’re packed for the year. This does both – turns your lights into something like a paper lei. We only used white but could look great with different colors.
Settings – I use 140lb watercolor paper at 500 / 100 (cut - black line) and 500 / 25 (score - magenta line). Most paper will require lower settings, but watercolor paper doesn’t blow away during cutting and folds perfectly.
Good question. I’ve only used with LED bulbs, and the piece fits down below the bottom of the bulb housing, never been worried about it
. Good to be careful though. But honestly, if you’ve ever seen a dry pine tree burn, paper is the least of your worries.
