brightens autumn evenings too

tamy tipped me on these gorgeous lanterns by matthew mead some time back. well, they were for summer but they are just as apt for fall.

take an ikea isig lantern. with some double sided tape, line the inside of the glass with two sheets of paper back-to-back. repeat until all 4 sides of the lantern, including the door, are covered.

matthew's decorative paper is downloadable from here.
