I had this lamp from Ikea and thought it needed something....
800 cupcake liners to be exact...
I got the idea from the wreaths made with punched pages from books.
I wasn't up to punching - and cupcake liners popped into my head!
I got two packs of these and it wasn't enough, I had to get another pack of 100
You use one of these handy craft tools ~
place the cupcake liner on top~
fold it over the pencil {craft tool}~
about 800 times!
then hot glue, hot glue, hot glue!
I love how it looks lit ~ a nice glow ~ kinda 'jelly fish' looking!
people are drawn to it and have the urge to touch it!
it took many, many nights to complete this,
but if you have a TV in front of you
the folding and gluing goes by fast!
I'm sorry about the 800 cupcakes that weren't meant to be!
All I can say is AMAZING!!!
ReplyDeleteThat thing is awesome!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteOn behalf of the cupcakes, we forgive you. This is too cool! :)
ReplyDeleteJust popped over from Between Naps on the Porch. that is really cool! I love the texture ... it looks fluffy and kind of like a big flower and kind of like a piece of coral all at the same time. Love it! (and love your sophisticated "crafty tool" as well!) :)
ReplyDeleteOMGosh, how cute is that! Great idea. I wouldn't want to punch that many times either Ü
