Colorful Paper Lanterns

I have been eying these colorful paper lanterns for DIWALI  for quite some time.....
And have been meaning to do some Arty-Crafty thing to it to add even more glamor
and glitter for the coming festive season....

Love the colors of the paper lanterns even the whites, especially the whites......

But i guess my need for all things not only colorful and artistic and off-course the "The ItsyBitsy BIG'B' Challenge" has inspired me to do more............ 

The rainbow that you can wish for is there....And the paper of the lantern is kite paper, very thin and matt, so one can actually play around with lot of contrasting colors and glitters.....

 

  Materials use

1. Paper lanterns ( Local shop)
2. Flowers ( ItsyBitsy Boutique Elements )
3. Glitter ( ItsyBitsy Boutique Elements & Camel  Sparkle)
4. Beads ( Simba Art&Fun Coll & Local shop )
5. Rainbow Ribbon ( Local shop)
6. Glue 
7. Lamp fittings  ( Local shop)

I was so excited to see the lighted lanterns that  i went from the last step to the first.....                      

I did the lamp fittings, hanged the shades and then decided which floral combination will go where....

And as you can guess then came the free hand glitter doodling on the shades, actually it was more like doing Henna....the only difference was i was doing it with glitter tubes .......

  After doing one floral section i realize that my flowers are looking dull in comparison to all the glitter leaves and swirl, so i added glitter dust 

and rainbow and other beads to all the flowers too......and lastly added  ribbon to hang and beaded

 strings to give some weight to the shades,but they are not enough, i need to add some more strings with little more weight at the bottom still. May be with bigger ceramic or metal beads........

 

It was good fun creating it....

But this seems to be a crazy month.....the things that i have done earlier are still pending to be uploaded,and the one i have done at the end is already here, quite a bit like this project it-self.....

Anyway.....I hope you all enjoy seeing it as much as i enjoyed making it...very simple but hopefully apt for this Diwali....my kids are thrilled as i told them the next ones they can glitter too (hope fully not too much of damage ....so i can doodle on top of their doodles.....)

 

This goes to

The ItsyBitsy BIG 'B' Challenge

 

Though i have submitted parts of it in yesterdays post before the time has run out.....but here is the detailed version of the same.....I'm so new at blogging that half the time i do some or the other blunder....still i m not so comfortable in placing and moving the pictures and text and adding other things.......

 

Guess what! I WON in their last to last Challenge "Floral Challenge" my first ever:) and i have yet not been able to grab the winner tag and place it on my blog.....Sob! Sob!....
