Lanternas do Marrocos

Queridos, visitando alguns blogs e sites de arte encontrei esta delicadeza de trabalho manual, é claro que não é exatamente igual a uma lanter original marroquina, mas que é muito charmosa e pode dar um ar aconchegante onde voce as colocar. Vejam...

diy project: katie’s glass-jar moroccan lanterns

I’m getting a little tired of the winter weather and will take just about any opportunity to daydream about the sunny warm days ahead. These Moroccan-inspired lanterns by Ohdeedoh contributor and DIY expert Katie Steuernagle are the perfect antidote to the winter blues; I love the glow of the rich jewel tones and the intricate gold designs. If you have any old sauce jars lying around, this is the perfect way to make good use of them and get yourself psyched for spring— it will be here before we know it! —Kate

Materials

• old glass jars (spaghetti jars, jam jars or any plain glass jar will work)
• gold dimensional puff paint
• glass paint (Delta or Pebeo Vitrea glass paint are great options)
• paintbrush
• wire (optional, for hanging lanterns)

Instructions

1. Remove labels and any glue residue from the glass jars and allow them to dry completely.

2. Apply the gold dimensional paint in various patterns. You can use the applicator tip to create small stud-like dots, draw various decorative patterns or push around the paint to create solid areas of gold. Let dry.

3. Pour a small amount of glass paint inside the jar and use your paintbrush to drag the paint up the sides of the jar, coating all of the jar’s interior. Let dry.

4. Your lanterns are now ready to enjoy indoors or out! Simply fill them with candles or add loops of fine-gauge wire to the tops for easy hanging.
