A Little Light-up Lantern

A while ago, I picked up a few little hanging displays.

I thought a little light-up sphere would be a fun thing to put in one.

I have a really small Tupperware lid that I used to draw around for a circle. It’s about 2 inches(25 mm) across.  Then I enlarged it. I drew the size of the fake candle in the middle just to see the size relationship.

I used some wool I had with sparkle in it. It is called Moss from World of Wools’ Glitzy collection. I did one thin layer as I want he light to show through. I am surprised at how well the sparkle shows in the picture.

Once it started to shrink, I popped the resist out. You can see it hasn’t shrunk much yet. I cut a fairly large hole as I want to put the fake candle inside.

I just kept going until I was at this size

It fits the holder just fine. It is still wet here. I had to take it home and stuff it so it could dry in the right shape. And now I’ve come to writing about it, I can’t find what I did with it.  I will search for it some more and hopefully find it for some pictures with the light inside before I have to publish this in a few days
