snowflake lanterns

Good morning, did you have a wonderful weekend?  I did too.  Saturday we went searching for our Christmas tree, and then went to dinner in the adorable town of Snoqualmie where they were having a little tree lighting celebration. 

We walked past a florist shop and I saw these beautiful paper lanterns and I couldn't help but picture them hanging at the alter.  They were $65 each and I swore I would find them cheaper. 





I did find them cheaper at Luna Baazar, but not by much!




Of course, you could DIY with these similar twirled snowflakes.
Perhaps make less cuts so it will hide the bulb?

Sounds like a lovely weekend! And paper lanterns are so fun, I've always wanted to decorate my house with them. Thanks for the diy link!

I saw these at the Christmas market - I didn't check the price, but I checked last year for similar ones at another market and they were about 80 bucks. Yikes!

But they are very cute. I just wonder how they'd survive from one year to the next in the basement!

That snowflake is SO easy to make -- a friend of mine and I made them for her house a couple years ago. She hung them from the ceiling over her dining room table. Beautiful!

I'm nostalgic re: the omnipresent Filipino parol you see at this time of year -- Philippines' version of the star lantern.

Gorgeous, although, I do not think I'd want to think of snowflakes at my wedding. I'm not a big winter fan.
