Origami String Lights

I'm sure as kids most of us can relate to the fun times we've had being crafty and making all kinds of adorable origami animals and shapes. But being a college student doesn't have to change our enjoyment of fun crafts!

A really neat way to create some awesome string lights for your dorm is to fold simple little origami flowers and easily attach them to your string lights. The process to make the flowers is surprisingly simple and you can definitely make the lights your own by choosing whichever patterns and colors you prefer.
