Lightweight camping doesn't have to be boring and without style. This Instructable helps you to make your own 7 gram glamping lights to set a party atmosphere around your camping spot. All you need are some basic tools you find around the house, some electrical tape, colourful LEDs, coin cell batteries and a few minutes of time. You can build the lights for less then €0.50 each, almost for free and hang dozens of them around your tent when camping. Who said you need to spend a lot of money to make your camp site glamorous?

This project was inspired by the concepts behind LED-throwies, the DIY camping light with a jug of water and a head torch, the LuminAID light of Tentsile and tries to recreate my own childhood memories of garden parties which where lighted with these colourful light bulbs. In that process I tried to connect sustainability (reuse of plastic bottles) with the specific needs of camping outdoors (lightweight items).

A dream, making camping more magical: I want to hang a lot of these bottles in the top of trees while camping and enjoy the wonderful colours around my tent. I ordered 20 more batteries and LEDs and looking forward to it. If you like this project, please send me pictures of other camp sites with these lights, and let us show together that camping is magical!
