I'm sentimental about family things, so I knew I'd want to do something with these old buttons rather than hide them away. My amazing sister, Ali, was visiting us this week and I thought this would be a fun project for us to tackle together. We pulled out the buttons late one night, when Evie woke up.

DIY Tissue Lantern Hack - Super Easy & Super Pretty Posted by ScrapHacker.com on torsdag, februari 23, 2012 · Leave a Comment Now ain´t this pretty? Spotted this awesome D.I.Y hack idea over at Martha Stewart. Best part of it is…that it´s a super easy D.I.Y project, all you need is a basic lantern, tissue petal-like paper cut-outs, some scissors and double sided tape. The fact that IKEA´s ”Regolit” lantern is priced at only $5, gives this project a pretty awesome effect-to-cost ratio… Given the huge amounts of choice in terms of tissue paper colors, making this hack your very own is easy.
