- An 18 to 20” white paper lantern
- Hot glue gun
- Electrical cord and bulb holder
Directions:
- Take the 18” to 20” white paper lantern and open it. Place the lamp on a shallow plate or bowl to give a base to the lantern.

- Take the cupcake liners and start placing them on the lantern.
- Put a small dot of glue on the back of the cupcake liner and starting from about 1/2″ from the wire ring at the top of the lantern, glue the cupcake liner on the lantern and press until it is attached.

- Keep pasting the cupcake liners to the lantern, spacing them is such a way that the circular bases of the cupcake liners are approximately 1″ apart, allowing the outer edges to merge and shape.
- Continue applying the cupcake liners around the lantern in circular rings till 3/4 of the way down. Now, flip the lantern over and gently place it back in the bowl, top side down.
- Like the top side, complete the lower side of the lantern by filling the bottom of the lantern so the base is covered.
- Take the petit fours papers and paste them inside the cupcake liner centering them carefully. Cover the entire cupcake liners with the petit fours papers.

- Allow to dry. Once done manipulate the outer papers to the desired shape.
- Fix the wire and the bulb holder into the lampshade.
- Turn on the light bulb and your beautiful DIY lampshade is ready in a matter of minutes.
