Paper light tutorial
Now that it is finally cooler, I am much more enthusiastic again about little crafty projects.
Yesterday, I made this paper light. It gives beautiful light when you put a candle (in a glass) inside, and it is really easy
to make.
You will need:
Wallpaper paste
Some wood glue
Cling wrap
Tissue paper
a bowl and scissors
Mix the wallpaper paste according to the instructions and then add some wood glue (the white stuff in the picture).
Mix it and let it stand for about 15 minutes:
In the meantime, find a nicely shaped bowl and cover it in cling film, then cut the tissue paper into stripes.
I put the glue directly onto the clingfilm, and then put the tissue paper stripes on. After a layer of stripes, put more glue on.
Make three to four layers, then let dry:
When the outside is dried, take the light off the bowl, and carefully pull the cling wrap off. Then let the inside dry too,
and enjoy!
