Today we have a project rewind. Design Team member Krista Petersen-Hong has taken and old project and made it new again!
Instead of rewinding, I want to help you un-wind! Although our world is very modern and sterile, we can still get a glimpse of nature and its simplicity. I really like how Michelle used the 3D bird cage to make these beautiful winter lanterns. I have taken the same 3D pattern and made a lantern for enjoying the summer evenings.
I left the top off the original pattern (snow & holly on Michelle’s lantern) and replaced it with leaves that I found in the Inspiration Studio Library and white flowers that are made with a hand punch. I chose a rustic color for my lantern and added brown inking to give it a rusted, weathered feel.
I found a darling Firefly in the Pazzles Craft Room. I am kind of a perfectionist, so I interpreted the colors a bit differently.
You could make a number of these to hang in your garden or porch. I have placed a tea light candle inside. However, you will want to use a battery operated candle! Remember to take a little time to relax this summer.
