We had a paper lantern light hanging in her room that we wanted to do something under-the-sea-ish with, but we didn't know what.
Well, after a few crazy days with some boy cousins a while back (love those crazy boys!), necessity became the mother of invention.
I cut off the damaged portion and I attached some wiring inside (it ain't pretty but it works) and hung some sequins and wired ribbon curls.
Voilà, instant jellyfish light!
We use an LED bulb and it makes a perfect night-light.
Thanks for posting! How did you keep the lantern from collapsing after you cut it?
ReplyDeleteObviously, this is a terrible "tutorial", no supply list and no step-by-step directions, LOL. I suppose it was just the kind of lantern that would stay open on it's own. ??? It didn't collapse at all. I know, I'm soooooo helpful. (Sorry.) :)
ReplyDeleteI agree not information above but I don't want to be rude.
ReplyDelete1. Does it stay open because you have used it for a period of time vs a brand new one?
2. How many per strand did you use? I used two per each 3 colors. Just wondering from the picture it looks like you did three.
3. I put pearls and colored crystals to match my color theme.
4. I found I need one more strand a little bigger than the others and like the see through one you have, and I need to put that on to complete it. I love how mine are turning out.
Thanks for such a great idea. You did a great job, and very creative.
Love it !!! Great job. I'm doing this for my kids room this weekend. What a creative eye. Thank you for posting it.
