So, grab your supplies and let's get crafting – your heart wall lamp awaits!

You will need a string of 35 lights, a sheet of foam board (cut a 13″ circle and keep the remnants for the wall backing), electrical tape, a craft knife, a pencil, and a cutting mat.

1. Draw a heart on the center of the circle and draw squares along the heart’s perimeter at 7/8″ apart, making sure the size of each square can fit the mount of the bulb.

2. Cut out the squares.

3. Carefully remove the light bulb from the mount. You will not need this step if you have the older style of light bulbs.

4. Feed the mount through the back and feed the bulb through the front. Make sure the bulb is floating somewhat — these lights don’t emit much heat at all, but it’s always great to have a safe precaution.

5. Continue steps 3 and 4 for all bulbs. Tape down any loose, dangling wires.

6. Using 2″ wide strips of foam board, create a wall around the wires in order to hide them from sideview. In hindsight, the only thing I would’ve changed is the shape of the wall around the wires. I should’ve followed the shape of the heart. Though it’s more meticulous, it’s worth not having the corners peep through when viewed from the wrong angle.
