Tween/Teen Fairy Light Photo Wall
I got my girls Instax cameras for Christmas a couple of years ago! They are SO fun to use.
Ella in particular loves photography and we thought it would be fun to make a photo display wall to showcase some of her photos! We also loved the idea of incorporating fairy lights too.
When we moved into our new home we hung fairy lights in Hannah’s room and they are so warm and cozy.
Tween/Teen Fairy Light Photo Wall
This summer we have a whole plan of making Ella’s room into her dream room, and we thought we would start with a fairy light photo wall. Here is how we created this warm and cozy focal wall:
- Gather your supplies: I looked around for quite a while trying to find the best fairy lights. I didn’t want battery-operated fairy lights because she plans on using these lights quite a bit. So I wanted to find lights that plug in. I also needed lights that we very long, so we didn’t have plugs cluttering up the look of the wall. I found some SUPER long fairy lights on Amazon. They ended up being very affordable – $19. They plug into the wall, are 47 feet long, have a remote with a bunch of different settings. So if she wants bright light she can set them to 100% brightness, but if she wants just a little bit of light she can adjust that too. And you can select the twinkling option – how fun is that?? They are also indoor/outdoor so you can use them outside if you want. There is also a timer so if she falls asleep they will turn off. We love them.
2. Other supplies for this project — Instax Camera photos, little clothespins and small 3m hooks to hang the lights. SIMPLE.
3. Hang the hooks. Figure out how long your lights are and how you want the lights to hang. This took a bit of time.
4. Once we got the hooks spaced out right, we hung the lights.
5. Then we attached the pictures with the clothespins.

Beautiful, but where do you get the little clothes pins?

A high quality product, I will recommend to family and friends about this chandelier, thank you for sharing!
On the wall, the wire on your lights look white, but in the photos of the product on your website and on Amazon, the wire is copper. Are your wires copper or white? I purchased these, but now I’m not sure what I think copper wires across the wall will look like… suggestions?
Hi Heather! Yes the wires are copper. They are very thin and I think it looks nice. I hope you like them!!

I love this article! I was just searching for inspiration and I am so happy I found your blog. I am planning to create the fairy light photo wall. I will try to get the ones from Amazon because my IKEA lights are too short. For printing, I always use the squared.one photo lab since I find them being the best quality and always with a super fast delivery. And it’s super easy, it just takes pictures straight from my Instagram. Thank you for the inspiration!
Those lights are beautiful! And the dog … I don’t know what I would do without my Cavalier :). Best dogs in the world!
Wow, it looks so beautiful and creative. You give me an idea about decorating my 10 years of marriage. I will give a surprise gift to my husband. Thank you so much for sharing it!
Must you only designate this for tweens? Ha! 🙂 I love it. I’m thinking how great something like this would be in my office.
LOL!! I know. I want one in every room now. Those lights are so fun.

This is such a great idea and so easy to do! Awesome for a party backdrop too…especially with graduations coming up. Thank you for sharing the link for the lights!
Thanks Barbara!! I love the idea of making one for a graduation party!!

very FUN ! can i ask how many strands of lights you used on your project ?!
Hi Cindy! It was just one strand of very long lights!! I have a link to them in the post. They were under $20 for 47 feet of lights and cord. I researched around to find the best one 🙂
