So I picked up some orange string lights for $1.67 on clearance after Halloween.
The original idea was to rig them throughout a mostly vertical dwaven mine and craft simple lanterns over each bulb to bathe the piece in dim light. I've decided that was far too ambitious given the time and supplies I have on hand at the moment.
So I'm looking for a less intensive project to include these lights in.
Anyone have ideas?

Are they LED's, or incandescent? The incandescent bulbs likely rely on the entire string's resistance (Ohms) to provide enough voltage drop to avoid burning up... In other words, be careful if you split bulbs off of the entire chain -- 120/220 VAC across them could be... Explosive (literally). Cheers!
