Material list

Become a lamp designer and create paper snowballs that will shine in your home in a warm light. Learn how to make the lamps here.

Crafting snowballs
From the crepe paper cut out about 5 x 5 squares. Each of the squares is pulled apart and then cut in half. The crepe paper will not contract again, squares of 5 x 5 cm will be created again, but now thinner and more translucent than before.

Each square will be rolled into together, folded in the middle, possibly twisted together in the middle.

The acrylic hemispheres are gradually pasted with the paper squares. Once they are completely covered with the crepe paper, a string of lights is placed in each of the spheres, the timer action on the lights is activated, and finally the spheres are closed.
Design the snow tray
The wooden tray is painted with gray-brown craft paint. The scatter pieces are given a golden coat of paint. Then the tray is decorated on the outer edge with a narrow ribbon and small scatter pieces.

Filled with diamond snow, the glowing acrylic balls, a small polar bear and decorated with the painted golden snowflake scatter parts, this winter decoration will become the new special light source in your home.
