Shiho flips this empty milk carton into a pimped out tabletop lantern (as featured in NY Japion Newspaper). Please: USE BATTERY OPERATED CANDLES. LED tea lights are recommended, which you can purchase online for about $1.50.Thai unryu paper can be bought for around $3/sheet at art stores or online. It has a beautiful texture for a light shade. Song is "Skull Collector" by Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra

  • How did you get the newspaper colored?

  • @MultiPSGamer I mixed acrylic paint with a little water, and painted the surface of the newspaper with brush. Don't forget to use a battery operated light for your lantern ;)

  • i love how these projects are so green and budget conscious.

  • Exactly! And eco-craft forces you to be creative with what you have.

  • Thanks!! Hope you enjoy all of them!

  • hahaha, have fun!!

  • Such a great crafts idea for the kids, both big and small!

  • Dodo it is not only Eco friendly but it is an awesome craft and it is inexpensive!! I can see making a bunch of these for a garden party.

  • @dodofrog2 Then why the heck r u watching the video? Be GONE! I say unto thee in the essence of Gandalf: You SHALL not PASS! Fly You Fool!

  • I hate these Eco friendly fags

  • Creativity!!!!!!!!

  • Glad you said USE LED LIGHTS in the instructions... Might be a GOOD idea to put that in TEXT in the video too - some folks might not read the instructions and they might also put tealight CANDLES inside it.
