Christmas Lanterns

When I was at the Knit and Stitch Show I couldn't resist buying a very delicate sheet of Japanese lace paper. This weekend I made lanterns with it. To get the cool effect I layered two blue bands of torn mulberry paper on to the glass. I put a finishing layer of the lace paper on top. I incorporated into one of the designs some snowflake tissue paper. The basic lantern tutorial is  here  What I like about these lanterns are that If you are not happy with the result or wish to change the design it couldn't be easier. Just soak the lanterns in water for a while and the paper will come off and you can start again.
