Moroccan lighting 1st Idea

1st Idea :  Aluminum Lanterns
Moroccan lighting, Aluminum Lanterns

Checklist:
•    Decorative aluminum sheets
•    Tin snips, scissors (to cut metal)
•    Ruler or tape measure
•    20-gauge wire, cut into 6-inch lengths
•    Emery cloth (sandpaper for metal)
•    Krylon black primer (optional)



Step 1: Cut sheeting to desired size strips using tin snips. Use household containers like cylindrical oatmeal boxes and soup cans to figure out the dimensions you want. A 10 x 17-inch piece makes a large lantern; a 4 x 10-inch strip a votive size. Lightly sand any rough edges with emery cloth.

Step 2: Roll the metal strip into a cylinder, using food containers as a mold and overlapping the cut ends slightly. To secure, twist wire through openings in the mesh evenly spaced at the top, bottom and middle along the seam. Depending on size, each lantern will require from two to six pieces of wire. Turn edges of wire to inside of lamp and trim any excess.

Step 3: To finish, spray surface with two coats of black primer, letting it dry in between applications. Or spray primer followed by a coat or two of spray paint in the color of your choice.

•    x-acto knife or scissors
•    little jars
•    tea lights


paper lanterns

How to:
  1. For the big lantern, cut the paper to about 8×8 in. (~20x20cm), for the small one about 8×6 in. (~20x15cm). The paper will need to be long enough to wrap around the jars once, plus about 1/4″ — 1/2″ overlap.
  2. Fold the paper in half.
  3. Cut a series of straight lines in the paper, cutting over the fold, about 1/4″ — 1/2″ apart. Make sure to stop about 1 1/2″ from the edge.
  4. Unfold the paper and roll the paper on both sides, so the fold is sticking outward.
  5. Tape the sides together.
  6. Place a jar with tea light inside the lantern and light the candle.
  7. Feel cozy. ;)

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.

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.
