Garden Lighting for Outdoor Entertaining: 40 Festive Projects

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Throw some beautiful light on your outdoor activities and festivities! A little gentle and luminous glow, radiating from special lighting fixtures that you make yourself, will turn your garden, patio, courtyard, or deck into a magical space. 40 easy-to-do, ingeniously creative projects use a wide range of materials--many recycled--to set exactly the mood you want. Combine minilights with handmade paper, live plants, and tomato-paste cans to brighten your dinner party or adorn terrace stairs. Transform ordinary electric walkway lights with shiny brushed tin-or give tired tiki torches a facelift with wire and beads. And, you can't go wrong with candles, candles everywhere, whether cradled in decorated gourds or suspended in blue glass. Striking nighttime photos show it all. Plus: low-tech tips from the Experts for lighting a tree, the side of a house, or a garden path. It's a truly illuminating volume.
