We're still waiting to see if any tech minded folks out there join us this month and share their outdoor tech projects for My Great Outdoors, so we thought we'd share this DIY project posted by Pelikan_Hobbywelt over at German DIY site, EXPLI.de, that might inspire you this weekend to create a little decorative lighting in your garden using outdoor LED string lights, some papier-mâché and paint. Seems like an affordable and simple project to tackle with the kids...
