Upcycled Lanterns

I've been making lanterns. The one with the horse was for a present, the flowery one an experiment in seeing how quickly I could work once I knew what I was aiming for. The answer is: not very quickly at all - I would have to sell them for extortionate prices (you could probably buy a solid gold lantern for less)! However, all hope is not lost, I'm working on a speedier technique! Any ideas?

These are great! I love the horse one :) It's so good that you've put them on wire too - safety first!

They use it with willow weaving look up willow website and you can use it to make lanterns and collage on! (just a thought)
