SHABBY CHIC ALTERED LANTERN

Hello everyone,

Fairuz Fabiha here and welcome to the EC blog. Today I’ll be showing you how to alter a lantern with mixed media.

Today’s project is inspired by ‘Shabby Chic- Pinks and Grays’ theme that mainly came from the expressions craft July challenge mood board. 

I’ve decided to use pinks and grays as the color scheme and decorated the lantern with Expressions craft flowers. As this months product highlights are metallic paints, gesso and chalk paints, I decided to go with the metallic paint and gesso in many different ways to create this perfect shabby chic project.

All of the products are listed down below along with the website link. 

Hope you enjoy the close-up pictures of today’s project along with the YouTube tutorial linked down below.
