Learn to make eco-friendly yarn hanging lights without the plastic waste of popped balloons. These modern hanging lights could be bright colors or natural with hemp depending on the yarn chosen. We’ll have fun wrapping balls with sticky gluey yarn and then learn to connect the hanging light fixture with the led light. Enjoy a hot cup of tea or BYOB to this event!
