Lucky Find?

So I got these super cute string lights last night at Target (for $3!)
They were the only set they had at the store I was in last night and I didn't notice at the time (or possibly it happened after I
bought them in getting them home....) that one of the light covers was broken. It's not a big deal because it's right where the two halves meet and can easily be glued back together, but when I saw it.....
I immediately thought "how cute would that be for a hanging light fixture in a dollhouse?!" So..... I think I'm going to check a different Target (we have 3 in the immediate area and another one about 30 minutes north of here near where one of my friends lives) and see if I can find another strand or two.  I think I can cut the lights apart and re-wire them to be a battery operated fixture for a dollhouse.  And of course I can always spray paint it if I want it a different color.

Just have to figure out where I can use it/them.... it would need to be a 1:12 scale project so either the Backyard Art Studio or the Dresser Town House and actually I think I could use it in either, but I'm really kind of thinking about the art studio.... I had found lights I liked for it but I would need 2 of them and they are $30-something a piece.... so this would definitely be cheaper.... it would give a little different look too, but I think it would still work (I'm thinking 3 down the center peak of the ceiling.....) I'll have to see.....
