She writes,
As the inaugural project for our newly founded club, the Righteous Legion of SCM (that's Santa Cruz Mountains, baby!) Craftistas, we made these most awesome origami lights. I was the only one who remembered to get Christmas lights, but Karen brought actual origami paper (hmm, why didn't I think of that) as well as some really pretty scrap booking paper, Maren brought beautiful wrapping paper to use, and I had regular pastel copy paper, which we didn't use much of because it just didn't compare to the other papers.

I actually saw the same lights last a few weeks ago, here.

My link includes instructions similar to the ones posted above, but the author of the Folding Trees post makes two additional suggestions - one, use a light-coloured paper, and two, put the balloons on after you've hung up the lights.
