Amanda – we made the holes as big as the lights, so they stay in pretty well. All the wiring at the back creates a bit of bulk, so if you’re going to hang your board, you’ll want to find a way to mount it slightly away from the wall. also – the mdf comes in many different thicknesses, just use a thinner board. I’ve made a black board out of plywood too, but it’s just more rough. hope this helps!

Hi Rachel & Jen – the twinkle lights are just tiny little christmas lights. I’m sure you could use any size, but the tiny ones will be easier to install behind your blackboard.

Yeah, I have the same question about twinkle lights being the same as Christmast lights. I checked the UO site for all lights and didn’t see anything similar.
