Make a bowl of light.

• 1). Place the string of lights inside a glass bowl.
  
  
• 2). Place the bowl atop a side table near an outlet.
  
  
• 3). Plug the lights into a nearby outlet to create a bowl of ambient light.
  
  

Create an extra light source in the kitchen.

• 1). Place the heavy-duty double-stick mounting tape at intervals of six inches underneath the backside of the kitchen cabinets, just at the point where the cabinets meet the back wall.
  
  
• 2). Run the lights along the underside of the cabinets and attach the string to the mounting tape.
  
  
• 3). Plug the lights into the nearest wall outlet.
  
  

Create an extra light source in the bathroom.

• 1). Place mounting tape in six-inch intervals around the edges of the bathroom mirror.
  
  
• 2). Run the lights around the mirror and attach the string to the tape at even intervals.
  
  
• 3). Wrap and mount the string around the mirror at least twice before plugging the string into a wall outlet.
  
  

Make a piece of art.

• 1). Plot a design on the back of a canvas with a pencil by placing dots a half-inch apart in a circular pattern until there are as many dots as there are bulbs on the string of lights.
  
  
• 2). Press an awl through each dot to make a hole slightly smaller than each light bulb.
  
  
• 3). Press a bulb through each of the holes in the canvas.
  
  
• 4). Apply craft glue to the back of each bulb where the string meets the canvas to secure the lights in place.
  
  
• 5). Set the canvas on top of a dresser and plug the lights into a nearby outlet for an instant piece of glowing art.
