At CHA last week Deb and I saw some amazing things! I have tons of pictures of cute booths, exhibits, and projects. This project was at the Hambly Screen Prints booth:
Want to know how to make it? Buy a paper lantern from any local store. You can probably find these at a party store, IKEA, or a World Market type store. Purchase your favorite clear overlay sheets (they are hand screened transparencies) and cut to fit each side of the light. Adhere the top with a clear adhesive and you’re good to go! How easy is that? I think it would be fun and easy to change out for different seasons as well. Imagine a spiderweb overlay for Halloween, or a different pattern for the holidays.
*If you don’t have room for a full sized hanging lantern, try this desktop one from World Market:
Do you have a goal to freshen your nest with this upcoming New Year? Not sure where to start? Well, let us help you get off on the right foot. Watch the video below for some pointers.
As I mention in the video, all you need to get started is our Space Planner. You can find it on our right hand sidebar, or click here. Here’s an example of how it works. Trust me, it’s easy schmeasy and can save you a lot of time and money in the long run.
Enjoy it and use the heck out of it! If you’ve tried it, let us know what you think! As always, we are here to help if you need it.
I had a question from a reader last week. They were looking for some plans so that they could build (or have their friend build) a platform bed for their new condo. I came across some pretty nifty plans that I thought I’d share here. Both look like they’d cost you under $100 for materials! What a steal!
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. We are having a wonderful time spending it with family and friends. {And we are still stuffed from yesterday}. Since we have a little break from the day to day hustle and bustle of life, we are going to be relaxing and hopefully spend a little time crafting too.
Ever since Danielle was here sharing her Fresh Nest with us, I have been on the look out for some great paper wreaths. Here are a couple different variations I found that I think would be fun. {And they would make great gifts too!}
