Using a few simple items from the Dollar Store, I was able to create this garden light.
A metal trellis
Battery-operated Lantern
Decorative Mesh
Plastic snowflakes
Diamond wrap beading
(small clothespins which I already had)
I wanted the lantern to be white so I used white spray chalk paint on it after taping off the clear globe part. Using hot glue I added the turquoise beading. I have to say I LOVE this beading ribbon! It's soft and flexible and so easy to work with. They had it in several colors and I think I'll be grabbing more of that on my next trip.
The snowflakes are clipped onto the trellis with small clothespins. I just used hot glue to attach the beading to the pins.
I created a fluffy bow with the mesh and secured it at the center with more of the beading ribbon.

This is beautiful! I love the jewels on the lantern. It's so pretty and perfect for winter.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny! Not sure how it will hold up to winter but it's still hanging in there!
DeleteWhat a darling lantern that you enhanced so perfectly, Lauren! You're so creative, my friend!
ReplyDeleteYou took the drab lantern and made it so pretty! I love that beaded ribbon.
ReplyDeleteThanks Beverly - I went back and got a bunch of the colors of that ribbon - I like that it's flexible so makes it easy to work with.
DeleteOooh la la! So pretty, my friend :) And oh-so-perfect for winter.

Oh, how pretty! You doll things up to the degree that one would never dream they cost so little! You do an amazing job. Oh, by the way, I wanted to tell you that we made your mini frittatas the other day, and oh, my, they are SO good! We have ONE left, and I plan to eat it for breakfast in the morning, Lord willing. :) Thanks so much for the blessing you are and the things you share here!
ReplyDeleteThis is just so cute! I love the lantern in white. I'm going to have to look for one of those
