These are 3D hollow 14 inch long “Christmas Lights”. You can easily adapt this pattern to make as small or as long of a garland as you would like.
Being hollow allows you to add in real Christmas lights. Making your crocheted garland glow when the lights are off. It’s beautiful and amazing.
What makes this even better is that this garland is just like the real deal that it’s modeled after. There are “plugs” on each end. And they are designed that you can plug them into each other! Giving you even more versatility and ability to use them over and over in various places.
You can mix and match any colors you want. Giving you the ability to fully personalize your Large Lights Garland.
