Paper lantern make!

I like it when I suddenly find the motivation to make something. This wasn't planned so just made it up as I went along. I might develop this idea on to a lampshade for my house as I quite like it!

I used some lining paper that I had lying around and just my favourite black pens. I cut out some of the windows completely but also left some of them with little windows that can open and close. I think it add a little more detail to it! I then used a needle to make the stars.

It has a tea light in a glass ramekin to light it up. I would probably change this to a tall glass just to make it a little safer but I don't have any glasses as...well let's just say I feel better using plastic tumblers haha.

Quick frame craftyness

Not been on here in a while so thought I would post a quick update of something I did today.

I bought a cheap 12 x 12 box frame from Wilkinsons and decided to fill it with a few family pictures as I don't have any up...anywhere - which is bad!

I have such a big bag of the little pegs that I thought I'd use a few more up with this make.

I think it looks good. It's a nice addition to the living room and I hope to get some more pictures up soon!

I also got a very striking vase today from Wilkinsons, so thought I'd share:

Thanks for reading! :)
