D-I-Y Blob Lights

I love the look of lighted candles, but know that they are neither practical or safe around kids (especially mine!).  I have taken to using Glade Luminaries, but this is a fun option that the kiddos can appreciate way more than my pretty little air fresheners!  Camilla Fabbri over at Family Chic has a great post on how to make some fun ambiant lighting for your table.  Thanks Camilla for the great idea!

Line your table with these glowing blobs and dim the lights to create a fun and intriguing look that appeals to kids of all ages. This take seconds to make and the kids can help.

This would be a great look for Halloween too.

Start out by cutting the neck off of the balloon.

Slip balloon over LED light - leaving the bottom of the candle exposed.

To give your blob some shape, pull a small section of the balloon away from the base of the candle and blow some air inside.

Flip the switch and scatter blob lights around the table.
