Basteltraum's Challenge #120: Glitter

 

Hi, crafty friends!

 

Wow, this is the last challenge for 2022 - where did this year go?! And to be honest, I am far away from being prepared for Christmas! So my inspiration for the current bastel-traum challenge might come handy for you! These are quickly made paper lantern that make a beautiful decoration on a window sill! Or you can hang them infront of a window with a thin nylon twine, looks super cute, too. These will be a gift for my daughter's godmother. Maybe you might need something similar as a Christmas gift, too? These are made super fast! No coloring involved this time, haha :-) I only used shiny, pearly silver cardstock and some glittery cardstock for the deer and squirrel. The rest makes that handy die set by Sizzix (unfortunately basteltraum does not carry it anymore, but I am sure you can ask Tom, the owner, for ordering it for you :-) ) You will find all products in links down below.

The "windows" are covered with thick vellum paper - this way, the light looks so pretty! So all you have to do is diecutting, folding along the score lines (the die makes that for you) and glueing all pieces together - voilà!

 

I found some super cheap electric LED tea lights for inside the lanterns - you cannot use regular tea lights because the lantern is closed on top - I am sure you will find one somewhere else near you (dollar store or etc.)

 

Okay, I hope you got inspired and you will play along with us - you can always win amazing prizes!

Thanks for hanging out with me and - Merry Christmas & a happy new year!!
