Paper lantern - THE GOOD ONE!


Yes!!! We made it! Here it comes!


It turned out to be a little more of work, but in the end it was more a matter of time... and I still have a little of that!!

This time I was not giving up, so I had a previous trial using red paper circles. I used hair spray and sprayed them all over. It had to work, and it did.



The red circle on the left side has hair spray on in, the one on the right side doesn't. It seems quite clear, doesn't it? The one on the right started to wrinkle in just a few minutes after hanging it.

So then it was time to spray them all... be careful, they fly away when you spray them, so don't do it directly. I sprayed quite far, and let the particles fell on the circles.

To make myself even more sure that they would stay straight, I ironed them (in groups, not one by one!! It could have taken me forever!)

Then it was just about sticking them on the lamp, using double sided tape. This time I bought an Ikea paper lamp by only 2,5€.

And here's the result!! Better than the previous one, huh?
