String Delights

Always a fan of the charm outdoor patio strings lights add to gathering spaces, Bentley wished they offered more in terms of color than the usual white when they first became popular. With a little trial and error, he began to make miniature, colorful fabric shades to wrap a round fit G-30 globe bulbs secured with velcro. The effect transformed their charm into a spirited and festive ambiance. Now made by the hundreds, they’ve become a delightful accessory to plain white string lights.
