Sea lights-stern lantern and other stuffâ€¦

Hi mates. See in photo what I found in a shop with beads and fake jewels. I just add a cheap penâ€™s case and here is my suggestions.

1.With materials from the second line a toothpick and a piece of penâ€™s case we can create a stern lantern. See photo.

2. With beads or from a piece of penâ€™s case again we can create different sizes of sea lights. I didnâ€™t make the painting to see details. See photo.

3. With the materials from the first line we can create additional decoration on a ship model (like knobs on shipâ€™s stairsâ€¦).
4. With the materials from the third line we can create decoration on â€œchesstreesâ€.

Have your walk in similar shops and let your imagination lead you.

What a fine idea. I've seen this sort of stuff before and never thought to make lanterns from it. Sometimes the standard stock cast lanterns in kits are real poor. This is the way to go.

Thanks for sharing. Idea

I must have passed this section in the arts supply store near me a hundred times wondering what I could make of this stuff. Now I know...
great idea!

Hmmm, I think I need to run off and ruffle through my wife's craft boxes. (While she's out of the house, of course.) Laughing
