I bought a pair of Vietnamese lanterns last year to hang at the porch. After a year, the colours on one side of the lanterns are fading. Inspired by Sasha’s feat last year, I decided to give my lanterns a makeover.
Can you see the lighter shade on one side?
I used some fake peonies and cherry blossom to cover the fading part of the lanterns 🙂 This is the first time I use a glue gun and I got burned a few times…hehehehe.
Ta da….. here are my lanterns after the makeover. I spent about rm30 on the fake peonies and cherry blossoms for this DIY.
Awesome, Barb, this diy and makeover of your lanterns are very creative. Good job, Barb.
Thank you Sheoh Yan 🙂
Barb, you are so good at revamp old stuff 😀

Barb, you know what? That’s very creative of you of the old lanterns makeover. It is really nice and exactly look the same with the one sold outside. Taiping here 1 pair selling rm89.90 for large lanterns.
Tips: I saw some they glued with small orangey “kum kat” nice too.
