Did you know that you can DIY a neon light? I know, I didn't either. That is until I found the secret!
The secret is that neon light strands can be purchased!
With knowing that little secret, I added a neon word light to my Halloween Home Decor this year. I'm going to teach you how to make one as well.
How to make a Neon Light for Halloween
This is a pretty simple and inexpensive project. I had all of the supplies on hand except the neon light strand.
Supplies for making a neon light word
- 18 gage wire
- packing tape
- SHHH this is the secret ----> neon light strand
- fishing line
- command hooks
Directions for making Halloween Neon Light
- Write out the word Halloween the size and the style you desire. I had my daughter write mine on my chalkboard wall.
- Bend the wire to follow the lines of the word. You will want to use strong tape to hold the wire in place.
- As you bend the wire around the word use fishing line to tie the wire at the intersections.
- Trace the wire with the neon light strand and use fishing wire to hold the lights to the wire.
Hang the finished word with clear hooks.
Turn the lights on and watch them GLOW!
The lights even buzz a little, just like old school neon signs.
I love the addition the light makes to the mantel in my Halloween Home Decor.
It looks so good lit up at night. The spooky glow cast by this Halloween Neon Light makes a perfect addition to Halloween decor!
