Ein Kommentar

If you’re looking to create a place in your house that has a calm atmosphere, then perhaps you should add several paper lanterns, going for Asian style decorations. Not only do they look elegant, but they are also perfect for any room. Keep in mind that you have to choose an adequate size for your paper lantern, also bearing in mind its location. By analyzing the place where you are going to put it, you will be able to choose a paper lantern that is actually suitable. Two recommended shapes are rectangular and circular, offering lighting that is not too bright for your taste; also, you may want to avoid crowding, making sure that the paper lantern is situated in a spacious location.

Did you know that you can also make your own paper lanterns, creating the perfect decorations for a party? You will need some rice paper – 6“ x 6“ or 12“ x 12“ – and Christmas lights to complete the decoration. The paper must be folded to make small blocks, and then the lights inserted into them. Handmade paper lanterns are the best, especially when you know that they are the result of your work. These decorative objects will certainly meet your expectations, perfect for parties and other celebratory events; moreover, they are a fun project to undertake.

There are two things needed when decorating your home or garden with paper lanterns: originality and creativity. Think about the project and choose the right decorative objects. You may also want to discuss your project with an experienced designer, requesting his/her specialized assistance. You could ask for advice on selecting the colour of the paper lantern, the right size or how to put all these together for the desired result.

In the end, you will have exactly what you dreamed of, paper lanterns creating the atmosphere you always wanted.

You have to choose an appropriate size for your paper lantern, and this is not the easiest thing to do. Think! Think about how the paper lanterns will make the area beautiful, choosing shapes that fit in with the decor of the room and going for matching colour combinations, and don’t forget to select the size of your paper lantern.

Whether or not you find it difficult, this task is part of a project that requires commitment, hard-work and imagination, especially if you want the final results to be spectacular and the experience worth telling.

Make Garden Decor from Stones

If the British, or the French, or the Italians like gardens, so do we; here, in the United States. We’re not obsessed with them and we don’t usually gossip about who has the best gardens, but we know how to maintain our gardens.

Though we don’t value these green places for the tea parties that we hold in them and though we do like a good, wide, and lush lawn for those barbecues that we love to have; there’s plenty to do to get a pretty garden. Now, there’s something that we sure do know how to do. We sure know how to make things pretty.

If your garden falls under the category of being small to modest in size; there are still a good number of things that you can do to make it more appealing. Why don’t you try to place it in a different light? You can do so with the help of garden decor. There’s absolutely no harm in trying and it comes with lots of fun.

For those gardens which begin in front the house and end where the lawn starts, why don’t you start with a special arrangement of thin stones with designs painted on their smooth surfaces? You can paint a whole bunch of things on these stones though this idea is freely given for you to use.

Take a flat stone, it could be white or black, and start painting the end parts of a bumblebee’s stripes. Continue with this pattern until you’ve finished with a set that will look like a bee when the stones are put together. When you’re done, put them in your garden in half circles like a necklace, from right to left.

You can have as many arrangements of bumblebee designed garden decor stones as you like. These painted stones should be used to improve a garden, not a lawn or yard! You’ll need either acrylic or spray paint for this project. You have to apply varnish on top of the stones, when you’re through. This way, they don’t get ruined by rain.

You can go anywhere with this, from one as simple as this bumblebee art; to ones like painted roses, daisies, pansies or other flowers; to even more complicated ones like paisley, lace doilies and marble.

Here’s another suggestion. If you’d like your garden decor stones to be extraordinary stand outs, then turn them into conversational pieces. Go to a shop that does photo transfers. Ask their technical staff to transfer prints of your favorite paintings by famous artists, from their computers to your flat stones. Don’t like paintings? You can choose your favorites from your picture albums and have these transferred, or pictures of famous personalities; anything that you’d like just as long as it follows a theme of your choice. You can even go without a specific theme.

While ordering photo transfers for your garden decor stone aren’t that expensive, they’re not cheap, either. If you’re willing to part with the extra cash for decorations that are really eye-catching, then go ahead. Spend, spend, spend, and keep your neighbors talking about your trendy garden.
