Milk Carton Lantern – Eco-Friendly Craft Ideas by Shiho Masuda
at
Shiho flips this empty milk carton into a pimped out tabletop lantern (as featured in NY Japion Newspaper). Please: USE BATTERY OPERATED CANDLES. LED tea lights are recommended, which you can purchase online for about .50.Thai unryu paper can be bought for around /sheet at art stores or online. It has a beautiful texture for a light shade.

@MultiPSGamer I mixed acrylic paint with a little water, and painted the surface of the newspaper with brush. Don’t forget to use a battery operated light for your lantern
How did you get the newspaper colored?
I’m gonna use this for my lantern project at school
Such a great crafts idea for the kids, both big and small!
Dodo it is not only Eco friendly but it is an awesome craft and it is inexpensive!! I can see making a bunch of these for a garden party.
@dodofrog2 Then why the heck r u watching the video? Be GONE! I say unto thee in the essence of Gandalf: You SHALL not PASS! Fly You Fool!
I hate these Eco friendly fags
Creativity!!!!!!!!
Glad you said USE LED LIGHTS in the instructions… Might be a GOOD idea to put that in TEXT in the video too - some folks might not read the instructions and they might also put tealight CANDLES inside it.
Thanks for posting this… I just made one and it good great… I love your design.
