so i had a quick obsession with hanging balls....
and I made this cute doily lantern and never posted it here (just at the diy blog)
using:
(both from the dollar store)
and this awesome decoupage from americana....
I just poured it out...painted some in the middle of my doily...
and then put it on the balloon and mod podged the lacy holey part
and my doilies caved.....it was too stuck to my balloon. (what can i say, that decoupage stuff is awesome and really sticks!!)
so i stuck in my balloon...
blew it back up
and tried another layer of doiles......
and this one was a SUCCESS!
the decoupage goes on super smooth and makes it super strong!
i've had a little problem with mod podge wrinkling my stuff..but this stuff rocks!
I added some invisible string with a needle....
and hung it up with the rest of my balls...
you can go here to see the rest of my hanging lantern thingys
I tried to do the the string globe one for my wedding reception... ULTIMATE FAIL ha ha when I deflated the balloon the string deflated too! I didnt feel like messing with it again so I gave up. I probably should have used a strong, undiluted glue (I mixed modge podge with tacky glue and water... it was too thin smh)
ReplyDeleteBack when you originally posted the rossette lantern I started 2 one aqua and one hot pink for my daughter.She saw it and was in love, multiple burns and I literally finished it about 2 weeks ago. I ran out of streamers and kept putting off buying more dreading another burn lol
