Step-by-step "how to" tutorial for making your own decorative Valentine's heart using LED holiday light strings. We used pink cherry blossom-shaped LED strands. Not only are LEDs energy-efficient, but they stay cool, which is ideal for a project featuring close bundles of bulbs.

2. Choosing the Lights
Our LED Cherry Blossom Strands are
available in Red, Warm White, and
Pink, and are great to brighten up any
occasion. Decorate your existing
bushes/trees/foliage to add a springtime feel, add a little romance to your
wedding lighting, or use them for any
creative project
you can think
of… just like
this Valentine’s
Day Heart we
created.

3. What We Need for the Project
1 Wire grid
approximate size 30” x 24”, square holes
are 2 ¾” x 2 ¾”
Your size can vary based on the size and
shape you are trying to create
27 Sets of the Pink LED Cherry Blossom
light sets
Part #144361R-25 at www.holidayleds.com
Zip Ties
quantity will vary based on size and shape

We also added some “greenery” around
the outside of the heart to cover the rest
of the wire grid. There are many
options/styles available, and you can find
this product at your local craft/floral
store.

4. Step 1: Preparing the Lights
The first thing you will need
to do is open all of the sets
of LEDs. You will need to
stretch them out, getting all
the wire straight, and then
neatly bundle them (Fig. 1).

You will then need to “fold”
your bundle in half, securing
it will a zip tie (Fig. 2).
TIP: we suggest prepping all of
your sets first, as this will make the
assembly go a lot faster.

5. Step 2: Assemble the Design
TIP: We suggest “dry fitting” the sets, to
make sure your design is coming out, before
you secure the sets to the wire grid.
You will now need your
Wire Grid (Fig. 3).
Insert the bundled end of your LED light set thru the square
holes on your grid (Fig. 4), making sure to pull the male and
female plugs thru to the back side (Fig. 5).
Once you are satisfied with the layout and design, you can ziptie the light sets to the wire grid.

6. Step 3: Finishing Up
Plug the sets into one
another, to make sure all
have power going to them.
Hang and display…
Plug in…
Enjoy!
