rebecca…this is fantastic! I love lights anyway, but LED string lights?..over the top. Thank you for sharing this with us. Bookmarking this post so I can revisit and make some of my own.

They’re good because they’re easily removable - you can scratch it off with a fingernail if you later have a design (like the thick acrylic with the lights embedded in a domed engrave) where you want the full light showing.
Other paints work but White-Out & poster paint dry really quickly which is really good in terms of preventing drips & runs

Love this! Brilliant idea to make them changeable… you could do different holidays, seasons and even themes

@SunnyStarbucks. [edit: meant @rebecca. Another awesome cat lady…lol] You are a bad influence!! Lol. I was supposed to be doing something else today…
Just read some of the comments and seems alot of us where on the same page.
Made mine 1.75" round.
Colored the leds with sharpie
Blue and Green
Colored the ouside black so it might not be as bright.
Without any color
I was also thinking about a small cover to block out the brighness but I only have 1/8" on hand and the LED is a bit too thick…would work with 1/4" acrylic and just attach an added small square to look the metal part on an glass ornament.

What about a small piece of black acrylic glued to both sides of the disc, concealing the light?

Oh! I want to do these on the front of my library circulation desk! Swapping out a different set for each month–then I don’t have to decorate elsewhere! 
Great idea!

Wait? Aren’t the images year-round? Everyday is Halloween…or so I have heard. Seems like it every time I pass a Hot Topic or Spencers.
My decorating plan for this year…create some fun Halloween decorations for the yard then, after Halloween, place Santa hats on all the creatures (in the spirit of “The Nightmare Before Christmas”). I wonder how it will go over in the new neighborhood?

Hahahaha–looks great, and awesome idea! Somebody a few streets away has an enormous Sinclair dinosaur in their front yard that they dress up for the seasons.

They totally should be year round! I’m pretty sure that wouldn’t fly in my neighborhood…but I’m game to try it! I’ll just say it’s the latest craze hitting the west coast 
and see what happens…
