DIY Cheese Grater Lantern
Aren’t they beautiful?! For making the top lantern you will need: cheese grater, waterproof silicone glue, light bulb and cord kit, clamps or rubber bands, ceiling hook, and copper wire or gold thread. You will be amazed at how easy this is! Position the light bulb/cord where you want it to rest and clip it in place. Use silicone to glue to sides together-carefully place one grader on the other (this is if you are using flat or round graters-a box grater doesn’t need the glue). Once glued, secure with clips or rubber bands and let dry for 2+ hours. Screw hook into ceiling, hang, and enjoy! Simple right?! Off to the thrift store I go!
