- Greetings!
These are just short tips, hacks, techniques, etc. that I have either discovered or created to help my projects go a little easier, so I wanted to share them with you.
In this one I show you how to fix a strand of Faerie Lights where you may have accidentally cut of of the wires.
This was, for lack of better terms, “inspired” by a recent video published by Ara @Bentley House Minis when she had this happen to her, and ended up scrapping the entire strand of lights and starting all over. Her video can be found here ... • Alice in Wonderland BO...
Hopefully, this video will keep her, and others, from doing the same thing in the future!
I also show you something that you can do with the lights, should the transformer, ever fail.

Have a better day … as I always say!

You made this fix seem so easy!! I could have saved so much time lol!!🤦♀️😊 Well now I know and can save my future projects when the wiring goes wrong. Thank you for also showing some other options with fairy lights. Because they are so small they are perfect for miniatures and being able to manipulate them in this way so very helpful! I appreciate all you do for our community!!
Always glad to help! We are all here for each other! It's how we learn and grow! 😊😊🤗🤗
@@dolfinmagikpro I agree!!
Awesome! You and Ara are quickly getting me over my fear of wiring things! Thank you!
Glad to hear that! Thank you!🤗🤗
Thanks, Sean, I can never get a straight answer from my husband about electrical issues. I feel more independent already.
Always glad to help!
Thank you!
Great video
Thank you!
Awesome problem solution! Oh man. I bet'cha Ara wishes you had made this BEFORE she had to cut out and replace the wires in her book nook. Maybe the next time, she will phone a friend first! 🙊🤣 Even I know that you are a master electrician! 😁 Make it a great day! 😊
Thank you so much for the compliments! She has my email address! Have a better day!
Totally thought the same thing while watching Ara
Thanks for the info!
You are welcome!
Really good tip to use a long light strip like that and just clip off what you need :) and good to know about how to fix a broken wire too, I was thinking the same when she cut off her wire.
Really kind of you to offer a solution as a respons like this :) 💜 I´m sure it will help a lot of people out if they stumble upon the same problem :)
Thank you so much!
I'm glad you found it useful! 🤗🤗
Great video!!!! Because i know nothing about electric.. in theory, if you only needed 3 lights from off the switch box can you just cut the rest off?
Theoretically ... yes. But! It also would depend on how many you are removing. The fewer lights you have, the more current/amps you would get passing through each light. If that current exceeds the threshold of the lights, they would burn out.
So, if I wanted to just shorten a string, I could just cut the string at the point I needed the lights to stop?
Yes! That is correct! I wouldn't take more than 1/3 of the lights off, just to be safe. So, if there are 30 lights on your strand, I wouldn't remove more than 10!
Also, if you do that, and had a second string of lights, you could add a few extra on at the end to lengthen it. They might end up a little dimmer than the original, but you could do that.
Thanks for the question and for watching!
