Whether for a special garden party or just because - lanterns are often hung on trees, bushes and house facades in summer to create a cozy atmosphere. But the 08/15 paper lanterns are not for everyone. They are available in many different colors and sometimes with a pattern, but somehow they lack that certain something, I think. So what does that mean? Of course - make it yourself, of course.
Patricia Morgenthaler shows how easy it is on her YouTube channel Deco Inspirations - Homemade by Mrs. Shabby Chic. She shows us step by step how wonderful lanterns can be made from fabric. Pimped up a bit with borders or rickrack, they are not only a lighting element, but also a real eye-catcher in the garden or on the balcony. What I particularly like is the fact that she presents two options - one with a sewing machine and one without.
