They can be as simple as a tea light in a paper bag, or as complex as bamboo hoops with thick decorated paper. The paper lantern has been around for centuries. Originally from Asian culture, it has grown to be a decorative tool for any occasion or space. You can buy paper lanterns at your local craft store. Normally they come in simple white and, well, that is just too boring.

I posted a picture about 1 week ago on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter of me cutting glass using just string. I got LOT’S of requests for a tutorial on how I DID THIS!
So here it is. FINALLY! You will be able to learn how to cut glass. I want to warn you. It’s best to triple your yarn because it will burn longer! Soak it GOOD! I like to tie my yarn where I want my glass to “cut” then quickly pour polish remover over the string again. Get a big bowl with ice and water ready. VERY IMPORTANT! Slowly turn your bottle. You can’t let the flame go OUT then dunk it in the ice water. YAY!!! I reallly hope you enjoyed this tutorial because I had ALOT of requests for it! © Copyright jaderbombllc, All rights Reserved. Personalized wire hanger for baby clothes. This instructable describes how to make a personalized wire hanger with a person's name built-in so it's looks cool and stylish in your child's wardrobe ;-).
Anyway, as I have a 11 months old baby boy and as we received tons of clothes for him (he even has more clothes than me or my wife), we're constantly lacking hangers, so I've decided to make some for him based on lilafrances' idea from Etsy. Also, a lot of our friends are in their thirties and babies are popping up everywhere, this of course represents quite a budget in baby presents. But now thanks to this marvellous idea I'll have super cool personalized custom handmade presents for all my firends' little ones... = instant karma for me ;-) As you've guessed by now, my son is named Sean.This hanger on the picture was my first one, in the meantime, I've improved my "n" and "s".
You can see other hangers on lilafrances' profile (see link above); it'll give you some ideas on how to make the letters. Most favorited all-time - page 16. Woven gift-wrap // pastel edition ^_^ By Kate on August 8, 2012 I noticed that the woven gift-topper I made last year was doing the rounds again on Pinterest so I thought I would make an updated pastel version (pastels seem to be the new neon at the moment). I bought some quilling strips (0.5cm) to use this time which reduces the labour by about half (I’ve also been working on some more intricate woven ‘things’ for another project…more to come soon). Anyway check out the previous post if you want full instructions.

As soon as I thought of making these I got a huge kick out of naming them Party Animals. Hilarious, but if you hear groaning…it’s coming from my house. Regardless of how cheesy the name is, these turn out awesome. Your kid’s favorite animal holding that birthday candle minus those red eyes that are oh so typical for plastic creatures, awesome. Supplies - plastic animalsplastic candle holdersdrill with 1/8″ drill bitpliersgold spray paint For the plastic animals, you can use any kind you can find.
Hold the animal with the pliers and drill a hole straight down, being careful not to pop out the other side. Spray paint the animals in a few light coats, rotating them to cover all sides. I also painted the candle holders to match. That’s it. {Photos by Hank + Hunt for The Sweetest Occasion.} Make This - Beaded Stars - Luxe DIY - How Did You Make This? These tiny beaded stars are beautiful in their simplicity. The motif can be used in a variety of ways – from a single star on a chain to dozens as a charm necklace. Make them in soft colors like these for understated day wear or in metallic beads for sparkling night-out looks. After a bit of practice you can make one in just a few minutes. Supplies: - seed beads – size 15 are shown, but this will scale to any size seed bead - beading thread – OO Nymo or as appropriate - beading needle - pointy scissors Thread the needle, work with the thread doubled.
String on 10 seed beads. Stitch through them to make a loop, and then through them one more time. String on 5 more beads. Repeat that all the way around. Stitch up through 2 beads you added in the last row. Skip the third bead in that loop, and go through the remaining 2. Go through the bead in the original loop, then repeat this for all of the remaining points.
This could work as a necklace or bracelet. Make Your Own Canvas Portrait!
