This is a great way to embellish your lights at anytime of the year. These do take some time, but if you get the whole family working on them, they can make nice decorations for your summer parties. Because they are paper, keep them out of the rain.
See the pictures for each step in folding your little box light cover.
Finally, tuck the little flap you have made into the pocket formed by the flap created in Step 7. You can see how it looks with one flap tucked in below.

Stella, these instructions and photos are just marvelouos! I learned how to make these cute little origami boxes way back in college, and you have made the entire process easy for anyone to understand. I never thought of using them in this way -- thanks for a very creative and useful idea!

I have never done Origami in my life, but with these thorough and easy to follow instructions (w/pictures helped) I made my first box on the FIRST try! Thanks for this great decorative idea. Forth of July will have an added feature on our deck! Red, White and Blue lights. Thanks so much.
This is a great idea. When I was a kid, we use to make water bombs this way. Once opened fill with water. Oh what fun we had.

Great instructions with photos BUT, I found that using a 6" square of paper is a lot easier to work with and fits of the tree lights also! Evenb
