Ask a beautiful stained glass effect Christmas Lantern, a beautiful Christmas decoration for any room. From a paper shade that fits and ceiling. When the light on the effect you will see the full effect of stained glass.
Glass effect paper lantern you will need ...
A ball-shaped paper shade lamp / lantern in any size you want. Felt-tip pens, black paint.
You must create a project for the lantern. Recall the design on a sheet of paper. One could draw the nativity scene, Christmas tree, Santa Claus, or maybe 'Merry Christmas'. The design must be simple and bold.
Once you start with the design you can start the lantern himself happy. First, it is necessary to erect the paper lantern. It should have assembly instructions with it. Ruga build the lantern and insert a wire expander in the lantern, this slots into place and holding the lantern, and taught.
Take a black felt tip pen or a marker and draw the design on to the paper lantern. Be careful when you are doing this because the lantern is made of paper and the wet ink makes the paper fragile. If your pen does accidentally 'go through' stick a small piece of paper on the hole to patch it up and leave it to dry.
Once your design is complete, paint the background of the lantern black. This is so that the lantern blocks out some of the light. Again you need to take care not to puncture the paper. Use two brushes to paint the lantern, a thin brush for small and detailed areas, and a thick brush for large areas.
Top Tip - Paint from the top of the lantern to half way down, and leave to dry. Then turn upside down and paint the other half. Use a dish to stand the lantern on, it stops it from moving and raises it up from the work surface.
For best results, give the lantern two coats of black paint.
Once the paintwork is dry, you're ready to apply the stained glass effect. With coloured felt tip pens, colour in the white areas of your design on the paper lantern. Again take care.
Now hang the lantern up from a ceiling light in your home. Every time the light is turned on your delightful design will glow like a stained glass window in a church on a sunny day. The lantern is a fun and unusual Christmas decoration.
Do not use a higher wattage bulb in the lantern than indicated with the lantern instructions and packaging.
