Day 311-Lucky lantern

Tonight I have made a brand new craft that I have not tried before.

I purchased a paper lantern from a cheap $2 shop

 next I started to cut fabric strips (all from various hues/patterns of red) and pinned them in place

 Initially I started by hand stitching these strips at the top and the bottom, but quickly realised it was easier just to use the glue gun.

 almost done!

 yay its finished!

 I guess you could place this over a light bulb, or try to place a candle inside, 

but to avoid all fire hazards I think it looks great just as a decoration swaying in the wind...

craft out
