Paper Lanterns Inspired by Stockholm

October 2, 2012 by Heidi Gustad

 

Rebecca’s DIY blog is a treasure trove of creative and easy-to-follow tutorials, and her post on making candle wraps is no exception. The tutorial shows how she used photographs of Stockholm to create gorgeous candle wraps that add a touch of whimsy to any room.

While some drawing skills are required to make your own design, Rebecca suggests using cutouts from building coloring books as an alternative for those who don’t feel confident in their drawing abilities.

This makes the project not only fun for adults but also a great activity for older kids who are looking for a craft to do on a rainy day or during their free time. With a few simple materials, including paper, scissors, and glue, anyone can create these beautiful candle wraps that can be used to spruce up any candle in their home. So, whether you want to create candle wraps inspired by your own hometown or just looking for a fun and creative project to do, Rebecca’s tutorial is sure to inspire you to get started. Rebecca’s DIY shares how she made these beautiful candle wraps inspired by photographs of Stockholm. 

You need some drawing skills to be able to design these to suit your own hometown. But these could be made using cut outs from Building coloring in books too.  Such a fun little project for older kids too.
