Cupcake outdoor lighting

These lovely cupcake lights will add vibes and will improve the look and feel of your garden. What you should do is to make a cross cut on each cupcake tin liner. If you like these cupcake lights for indoor lamination, then paper liners are fine for you. If the weather is fine, then they will be good for outdoors too. But, in any other case, I need to mention that they won’t stand up the rain or the snow. You should be very careful with this type of lighting, because they make you a huge problems if the paper liners touch bulbs. I recommend you not to leave lights on when not present.
