Lantern made with recycled materials

 

Remember the mooncake box I shared last week and said I wanted to turn into a lantern? Well, my neighbourhood is currently having a lantern-making competition using recycled materials. *winks* 

So I added bubble wrap for the cut-out windows so that the light can still shine through. And I fussy-cut the paperbag patterns and pasted them all around the lantern.

I used the bag strap to create a "handle" for the lantern....I secured it under a biscuit tin cover that was in the same shade of gold. I finished by adding some USB-powered LED lights in the box so that the lantern can "light" up. 

What do you think?
