\"Candy<\/a>
Candy Cane Christmas Light Text (Click for larger image)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My wife planned a Disneyworld trip to see the Christmas lights they put up every year. \u00a0She also insisted that I put together a vacation poster like those I have done in the past. \u00a0To change it up a little, I wanted to make the text at the bottom of the poster more “Christmasy”. \u00a0Now, what says Christmas more than a string of lights and candy canes? \u00a0So I did some googling to see how to photoshop Christmas lights and candy canes.<\/p>\n

First off, I found a\u00a0GREAT <\/em>youtube\u00a0tutorial<\/a> by\u00a0Keeling Design & Media<\/a>\u00a0that walks you through the process to hang a strand of Christmas lights on letters (they also have a nice tutorial on making rope lights). \u00a0However, the light bulbs used in the Keeling Design video are pretty basic. \u00a0Instead of using the Keeling Design lights, I drew mine using a tutorial by Buckle Up Studios<\/a>. \u00a0The Buckle Up lights look just like the ones my parents used to hang on our tree way back in the day\u00a0(tutorial here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

While searching for Christmas light tutorials, I ran across another tutorial on making candy cane letters by Ice Flow Studios<\/a>\u00a0(tutorial here<\/a>). \u00a0Combine the three tutorials and you get the image above. \u00a0Once you work through the process the first time, it is very simple to spell out anything you need.<\/p>\n

My wife is very excited to see the finished project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
