letter lighting

Want a quick and easy way to make your space look super hip in only a couple hours? I wish I could tell you that this was hard, but it was sooooo easy. It just took the time to randomly stick vinyl letter type stickers in various sizes (I purchased mine at Michaels) to a plain white paper lantern. You could do this with really any kind of plain sticker. It would also be cool if you used all of the same color but then put in a sticker in another color (I'm thinking red) for an added pop of color.

I know you've seen me do this same sticker look on other projects, but since I have so many extra vinyl stickers, I decided to whip up another project! Besides, I never get tired of this graphic look! If it ain't broke, why fix it?

Awesome. I really like this lantern for a modern American/Chinese decor. I can see in a dorm room too. Good job!

Always,

I love it! What a great idea! I like this idea for sprucing up the spare bedroom. It's pretty bland...
