Shabby Chic

County Cottage / Farmhouse

Modern

....Any home decor style, depending how your choose to dye it, leave plain white or use brown filters. So many options!

Materials:

Paper Lantern

Round Coffee Filters

Food Coloring/Gel

Hot Glue Gun

String of Lights

Our daughter loves to tie-dye shirts, so she wanted her lantern to reflect her style. We helped by dying the coffee filters in multiple colors.

*We highly recommend wearing rubber gloves!!*

Once they were all dried, we glued them onto a paper lantern.

Added the strand of lights to the inside and hung. If you do not want to hang it, it would look just as cute sitting on a dresser or night stand.

This DIY only cost us $3.00, since we already had the dye and glue. However, those are very inexpensive items to purchase.

The time was about a total of 2 hrs. Dye & dry =1hr, Gluing on filters=1hr

We tried doing a wreath at the senior center, but used liquid food coloring. We did not get a very good color. I don't remember seeing a gel food coloring at Walmart, where did you get it?

Our cake decorating is between different craft aisles. One of the few area that they do not change every month. They not only move aisle, they move individual items also. I know it is to get you to search and find something else you will impulse buy, but it is a pain when you want to find something and have to walk through the entire store to find it. Will begin the GREAT SEARCH next time I am in town. Valentine's Day would be a good time for this craft. THANKS!
