Make something! Make something! Make this jellyfish light for your little one! When i started on the diy project for design*sponge last month, the early stages of the "pinata inspired party lighting" reminded me of floaty little jellyfish. ikea carries a couple of different shapes of paper lanterns. one of each would make a perfect grouped trio of jellyfish hanging in your child's sea themed bedroom.to make the jellyfish:1. follow the directions on design*sponge to create the fringe for the bottom of the jellyfish.2. glue only a few rows of fringe on the bottom of the lantern. 3. to create the tentacles... i used waxed white tissue paper.
