Both Landon and Savanah have a spot in their rooms where it just seems a little too bare. The problem is if I hang another thing on the wall it will be a little too much. Such the dilemma. I have been racking my brain for ideas and finally came up with one for Savanah's room. I have always LOVED paper lanterns. I am not sure what it is about them, but I love them. I found this set at Hobby Lobby (I know, shocker!). My HL has an aisle where there are outdoor party supplies organized by color. It is an OCD's dream come true! This set of lanterns runs about $7.99, but with a 40% off it was only about $4.80.
I began by putting the lanterns together, which was just a little tricky. It also doesn't help that paper lanterns rip really easily. Be careful!! I then grabbed the Scotch tape and went to work. Only, guess what? Scotch tape DOES NOT hold the paper lanterns up!!! I know, another shocker. Again, I racked my brain for another idea. I found some white hooks out in the garage and figured they would work just fine.
I will say this, those little hooks were a beast to get in the ceiling. First, looking straight up kind of does a number on your neck, so I would have to look down every once in a while. When I would look down I would lose the spot in the ceiling where I was making the hole! Gah!! Second, specks of ceiling began to fall and with my eyes naturally being open.. yeah... you get it. When I finally got the hooks in I hung the lanterns from them.
I am thinking it looks pretty good. Enjoy!
