Get Ready for Tacky Christmas Sweater Party!<\/h2>

Here\u2019s one of my faves from last year: \u00a0FBL customer service rep took craftiness to a whole new level when she connected a stuffed animal to her Christmas Sweater for constant companionship. \u00a0Cute idea! \u00a0I spy even more ingredients needed for extra sass: \u00a0flower trim, sparkly ribbons and our\u00a0LED Lights<\/a>\u00a0for arts & crafts. \u00a0WELL done, girl, A+++.<\/p>

Check this light up tinsel garland boa I wove together in under 5 minutes, thanks to our\u00a0LED String Lights<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 same product used on the trophy. \u00a0I kept the battery house in my pocket, simple.\u00a0 In addition to Party Lights, I am also a huge fan of cats with laserbeam eyes.<\/p>

Here\u2019s a bonus shot of a rockin\u2019 FBL customer who sports more than Tacky Christmas Sweaters, and she gets creative with larger products; not just the micro lights.\u00a0 This Christmas skirt\u2019s got our slow color change\u00a0Mini Gift Box Ornaments<\/a>\u00a0inside & around layers of tulle. \u00a0Nooooo way! \u00a0YES way. \u00a0Those\u00a0Glowing Gift Ornaments<\/a>\u00a0come in a larger size too FYI. \u00a0Now if that\u2019s not thinking\u00a0outside the box, then I don\u2019t know what is. \u00a0Pun intended.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
