You can use these for party lights, or use red, silver or gold yarn to create beautiful Christmas string lights or tree decorations.  This is a pretty old craft that has made a huge come back as we trend more towards, reduce, reuse, recycle. 

After a knitting project is done I quite often have leftover yarn.  I don't like to throw it away, and so it builds up in a bag.  I figure you could use all kinds of leftovers onto one ball with that glue keeping it all together to make a multi-colored yarn ball.

Decorative Yarn Balls - Perfect for Ambiance

At any party, or simply to add a bit of ambiance and room lighting where there is no lighting.  Fairy lights operate on little batteries that last a long time. 

If you rent your space, this could not only be helpful lighting but cute wall decor too, as you can string the colorful yarn balls across a wall.

Fairy String Lights can be used in so many awesome ways such as pictured.  If you want them for outside make sure they are rated for outdoor use.  But the above string lights are for indoors unless it is a one time clear night party!

Wouldn't these look cool strung around a patio?  Just remember to take them in if rain is likely as the glue in the yarn wouldn't hold up to rain.
