You'll Need
• Paper Lantern Light Shade
• Pencil and Eraser
• Scissors
• About 300 1" squares
• Elmer's Glue or Modge Podge
• Paint Brush
• Crystal Clear Spray Enamel
• Blue Light Bulb
Heres How
- Lightly sketch an outline of the continents on your paper lantern. It helps to use a picture, map, or globe as a reference.
- Cut your collaging paper of choice into approximate 1” by 1” squares. I used pictures that I tinted green using a photo editing program. You can use anything from photos, to magazines, to construction paper. It you want your continents to be green stick with green paper.
- One by one apply the collage squares inside your sketched outlines for the continents using your glue or modge podge and paintbrush.
- For the rounded edges and curves of the borders of your continents, cut down the edges of your collage squares to match the outlines.
- When you are all done and satisfied with the shape of your globe, spray on a light coat of Crystal Clear Spray Enamel. Allow drying time.
- Screw in your blue light bulb, flip the switch, and enjoy you stud!
