5. Rhododendron Chandelier

This lovely lantern retails for 

$898.00

Whoa! A little steep for me

However a handmade version was

done by Kate at Design Sponge

Materials

• 100–125  white standard-sized paper cupcake liners
• 100–125  vertically striped petit fours papers
• (1) 18–20″ white paper lantern
• hot glue gun
• 1 Hemma Cord from IKEA (for lighting) ($3.99)

1.Assemble lantern and place in a bowl to act as a base

2.Put a small dot of hot glue on the backside of a white cupcake liner. Starting about 

1/2″ in from the wire ring at the top of the lantern, place the cupcake liner on the 

lantern and press until it is attached.

3.Continue around the ring, spacing the papers so that the circular bases are

 approximately 1″ apart, allowing the outer edges to merge and shape.

 4. Apply the cupcake papers around the lantern in rings until 

you are 3/4 of the way down, and then flip the lantern over and

 gently place it back in the bowl, top side down.

5. Complete the underside, and fill in the bottom so that the papers cover

 the base opening.

6. Begin applying the petit fours papers, centering them inside each white paper.

 Three-quarters of the way up the lantern, flip it top side up. Complete the top side

Easy as 1 2 3...
