On the 12th Day of Christmas: Don’t pack them away!
January 6, 2013 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw
It’s traditional to take down Christmas decorations on Twelfth Day, which is today.
But don’t pack away those twinkle lights! Look at everything you can do with them, year ’round, in your consignment, resale or thrift shop.
We’re talkin’ swing shop. Or exceptionally pretty, feminine merchandise on a round table. Imagine this table piled high with Valentine’s Day goods!
Do you have a “dead” corner or room or shelving unit? Bring it alive by sprinkling twinkle lights towards the back of your for-sale merchandise:
Sure, you could simply outline your display windows with twinkle lights, but wouldn’t THIS be so much more WOM-worthy?
If you’re like me, you have SCADS of light strings, and you love Mason jars. I love this idea…
electric fireflies!
And finally, you don’t have to have palm trees to wrap tree trunks in twinkle lights… if you’re lucky enough to have trees around your shop!
How have YOU used twinkle lights in your shop? Any ideas to add?
