DIY projects like this show that decorating does not always require purchasing something specifically marketed as home décor.
Sometimes the most interesting results come from looking at ordinary objects differently.
## Keep Safety in Mind
As simple as the project is, safety should remain part of the process.
Always use caution when cutting foam.
Use a stable work surface and an appropriate cutting tool.
Keep blades away from children.
When working with string lights, inspect the wiring before use.
Do not use damaged cords or exposed wires.
If the lights are intended for indoor use, keep them indoors.
If you are decorating outside, use lighting designed for outdoor conditions.
