string lights

so when i was in thailand i bought 300 of these string light covers to be used in our wedding.  they were cheap!  they were about $40 for 300 i think.  we asked them to give it to us without the lights themselves because the thai and us voltages are different.  we also got them collapsed. 

i spent about a day, opening them up.  i found that because thailand is so much more humid, some of the balls were starting to become brittle, dry, and showing their glue.  i dont mind so much because i dont think people will be looking at them closely.

the light bulb also didnt slide securely in so i had to make a couple extra snips with my scissors to the hole.
