Mini Lights for Crafts with a Single Plug

Our Craft Lights on Instagram

An innovative light string just for crafters

A few years ago, when I was new to this business, I was finishing dessert and coffee at a friends house and I kept noticing the collection of bottles she had displayed in her butler's pantry. I had to ask her how she managed to fill the bottles without a wire coming out of the top. I wondered to myself what she had done with the second plug.

She was happy to answer all my questions.

Her husband had used his drill press to drill a hole in the back of the bottles. Then he modified the light strings to remove the second plug and then the string of lights were inserted into the back of the bottles and an extension cord supplied electricity to the light string. She had run all of the cords to a dark colored power strip that was tucked back next to the wall.

It was beautiful. I knew I had to help her get a set of lights that would make this project much easier.

I think we've succeeded. We're happy to offer an entire line of mini lights for crafts that have your choice of 10,15,20 or 35 lights to the string and 36 inches of lead wire between the standard plug and the first light. Better than just white, we also make them in a wide variety of colors with green or white wiring.

These lights are perfect for:

• lighting up glass blocks to accent parties and Holidays
• filling wine bottles with lights to match a theme (the 20-light set is most popular for this application)
• lighting up mosaic and stained glass projects
• lighting up a floral arrangement or topiary in your entryway

We never get tired of seeing how these lights are used in bottles, blocks, mosaics, or countless other different kinds of projects. Please share your creations by leaving a review with a photo or video attachment on the light set you use for your project.

Frequently asked questions and tips:

If one bulb does out, will the others go out?

All of our mini lights - these crafters lights included - are constructed so that if a bulb "burns out" the rest of the lights will stay on. However, if a bulb housing is damaged, a bulb is unseated or removed from the socket, it will take down the rest of the strand.

How long should they last?

These light strings are rated for an approximate 2000 hours of use. We warrant them for 90 days of normal seasonal use. The biggest factors in the ultimate lifespan of your lights are hours of usage and temperature.

If you over-fill a sealed container with lights, heat will build up inside the container and will accelerate the aging of your light set.
