DIY Paper Lanterns

Are you ready for a little DIY action this week? Tina Fussell (aka Traveling Mama) told me about a video tutorial that she shot in her home recently showing how to make these sweet lanterns over this bed below with paper and string. You can easily make these babies on a budget and they are pretty for indoors or out – they’d be so sweet on a porch for a fun party!

To view Tina’s quick and easy how-to video, click here. The one that she makes in the video reminds me of a watermelon which makes me want to have a BBQ and decorate with only green and pinky red lanterns! Thank you Tina for the great DIY!

    I am so happy that I recently ‘discovered’ Tina and her beautiful blog- in your comments section a few weeks back. I saw this post last week and let her know that I will definitely be completing this lovely DIY project in the very near future!

    Love the idea of lanterns over the bed (although my cats may try to rip them down). I really love that quilt in the photo too.

    Those are so whimsical and sweet.

    They look lovely in this child’s bedroom, but I would find great joy from them above my own bed!
