YOU WILL NEED:
Lantern-style paper light, 30cm
Newspaper
Card: black, white
Dies: flowers, bows
Gems
Glue dots
METHOD:
1. Die cut numerous flowers and 15 bows from both black and white and pink newsprint. Cut some large flowers from black card.
2. Assemble 15 paper blooms by layering a black flower, large newspaper flower and smaller pink one. Attach a gem to the centre of each.
3. Position the 15 bows in groups of threes, using glue dots to fix them. Punctuate each trio of bows with a group of paper flowers. Add black gems to the centre of each bow.
Note: do not leave the decorated lampshade unattended. Use a low watt bulb that sits in the centre of the paper lantern and does not touch the sides
