These started as blank glass lanterns that I bought at IKEA and had planned to paint on them. They sat in my art room for months and finally, one day, I grabbed them and decided to vamp them up, right then and there.Next, enter the plastic papel picado images...(Mexicancut tissue paper, except these are made on plastic). I thought they would make wonderful accents to the luminarias!
All it took was a can of
Aleene's Crystal Clear Tacky Spray!
What you do is snip off one of the panels from the banner and wrap it around the lantern. Trim as needed. Once you have the right size, go outside and set the banner face down and spray with the adhesive. Let it set for about 30-seconds and then wrap it around the lantern.
If it is crooked, no prob - just peel off and reposition it.
You can use any kind of paper/plastic designs - make your own from contact paper, use foreign newsprint, etc...
Peace, love, and glitter!

Very nice! I love the papel and I see it often here in Mexico. This is a great way to use it differently. Bravo!
