It amazes me how creative some people are.
When I first saw these on pinterest I knew I had to make them.
They were just too cute to pass up!
Also, they were so easy to put together.
I just think they add a darling touch to baby girl's nursery and they look so cute turned on at night!
You can find the original post here.
Materials:
-Ikea vate rice paper lamp
-Scrapbook paper, fabric, or washi tape
-Tin can
-Twine or string
-Hot glue gun
-Scissors
-Small screwdriver, or something sharp enough to punch holes in your can
-Ribbon, buttons, ect to decorate
First, measure out your paper or fabric so that it will fit your can. If you're using washi tape, just wrap it around your can in the pattern you'd like. I thought paper was the easiest, and you can find some really cute prints!
Once your paper is cut out to the right size, secure it to your can using your hot glue gun.
Next, poke four holes in the top of your can to secure the string.
Tie a piece of string through each hole. I used a little bit of glue to ensure the knots stay put. Make sure you leave enough string to secure to the lamp.
This is how these lamps are supposed to be used, but flip it upside down and you have a hot air balloon!
Poke 4 holes into the base of the lamp and secure the string.
This is what it will look like when you're done.
Then you can decorate your lamps using whatever you'd like.
You have to get a little creative hanging them up.
I used fishline and wrapped the cords around it, and then used filler to make clouds to cover the cords.
I just love how they turned out!
And the best thing is they can be customized to any color or theme.
Happy crafting!
