Light and Lace


 We're sometimes inspired by vintage lace and vintage doilies. However, they have a tendency to look a little 'grandma-y' laid out on the coffee table. This is a cool idea to freshen up granny's doilies; make them into lanterns! 


Step 1: Blow up a balloon to the size you want your lantern to be. 

Step 2: Brush down doilies with wall paper glue.

Step 3: Apply doily to balloon, remember to leave an opening for your light bulb.

Step 4: Hang and let dry for 24 hours. 

Step 5: Pop balloon

Step 6: From there you can choose whether to put put a lighting kit into and hang it, or use it as part of a place setting and put electric candles into it. 

Now you've got a lantern!
