The Lacey Japanese Lantern is a concept that I came up with after seeing a lot of different ways to make lamps in do-it-yourself magazines. “Wow, that would be really easy,” I thought. I combined that with crocheted Christmas ornaments, just on a much bigger scale. Since I live in an apartment with no overhead lighting, this was a way for me to get a little more light in the room, as well as a great decorative piece.
