Bamboo String lights

Bamboo string lights are mostly Woven bamboo products, which are produced from thin Slivers/strips of bamboo. These string lights are a combination of readily available in-the-market string lights (Wire & Plug) and hand-made bamboo mini shades forms. The bamboo shades enhance the beauty of a conventional string light to display beautiful patterns on the surface the light falls on. One of the coolest things about these bamboo shades are - they are plug and play. What do we mean by that? If the string lights stop working after a couple of years (which is the case with most string lights), one can remove the bamboo shades and plug it into a new string light. The market for bamboo handicrafts especially “Bamboo String lights” is large and ever-expanding. Handicrafts are very popular in many countries during Diwali and Christmas of the world where their natural appearance and their environmentally friendly production methods are major selling points.
