Picture© LED LANTERN ~ Undine DeFilippo 2014


It's  common  to  expect 
an  average  of
200  Wedding  Guests, 
but  WHO  wants  to 
be  responsible  for  collecting 
and  watching  over 
all  those
GIFT  CARDS
loaded  with
 


$ $ $   CASH   $ $ $



Our  Family  recently  had 
just  such  an  occasion 
to  prepare  for.



I  was   glad  to  discover 
this  LARGE  LANTERN, 
with  3  LED  candles,
and  a  latched  door,
at  a 
HOME  GOODS  STORE

... AND...

happily  went  to  work
redesigning  it
to  suit  the
vision  it  invoked.



Picture© Painting the Lantern ~ Undine DeFilippo 2014

First, 
I  spray  painted  the 

DULL ~ DULL ~ DULL


charcoal  grey  metal  top 

with 

GLOSS  BLACK
.


Then  I  got  some 
thin  Foam  Board,
Magic  Markers,
Rulers,
White Paint,
 
Exacto  Blades, 
Elmer's  Glue, 
Black  Contact Paper,
Odds  n  Ends 
of   
Pre Cut 
Wood  Ornaments...

and 
 
had  me  some 

FUN 

transforming  the  lantern  into



an   Edwardian   House  that  accepted  ANY  size  GIFT  CARD  in  the  slot
and  can  be  reverted  to  the  lantern  whenever  so  desired  !
The  LED's  can  be  turned  on  from  the  original  switch
located  on  the  underside
to  create  a  glow !
I  LOVE  TO  READ  YOUR  COMMENTS  !
