I didn't know if you used a total of 2 yards for the smaller lanterns or 2 yards for each:-). Sorry to be a pest, I am going to attempt these for my soon to be born baby girls room. I am on bed rest and figure it is something I can do while sitting around:-). I think I might try 5 or 7 lanterns, though, I am putting them over her crib which will be catty corner in the room and I feel like maybe 3 won't be enough, what is your opinion? Also, her room is gray with one wall gray and white chevron strips. I love the gray as well:-).

Otherwise I would hate to trouble you! I will send you an email so if you do, you can send it to me. :) Thank you SO much again! I am making these for my baby girl's room who is due in a month and a half, but my sisters want to use it for my shower which is in a week so now I'm on a time crunch for them. :)) Thank you millions!!

That way the bottom 'point' of the ruffle isn't stiff. Then I sort of mushed the point so it's flat and put a dab of glue on it so the ruffle stands up straight, if that makes sense. I used a TON of circles. If you read above I used three yards of fabric with almost 100 circles per yard. The more you use the fluffier it gets and the ruffles help each other stand up.<br /><br />If you need, shoot me an email (simplekindoflifeblog@gmail.com) and I can send you a video of the circle process if you need. I hope this helps somewhat.

In the photo it looks like there is no glue after the circle is folded in half so the point is not pointy and glued down flat at the tip. But I've been doing it by folding in half, gluing center of that fold, then folding again, which gives me a very pointy point that i cant glue down flat at the tip like in the 3rd pic from once wed. Their First pic looks like they do glue the half point then on the side of the final tip, but their third pic looks way different. Also i don't know why but mine look way squished and too full when i try and cover every inch of white. I used about 40 pieces for like 3 inches! I know that isn't right. not sure how else to cover all the white. I am doing an 8" with just under 4" circles. Please help me! Thank you tons!!!

I cut out 1 piece of fabric circles in about 30 mins. I wasted more fabric than I wanted to, but it was less than $3/yard so I can get more if I need it. I found 8 in, 10 in, 12 in lanterns @ Hobby Lobby for $4.99. A little bigger than the sizes above. I just guessed on how much fabric I would need. The circle cutter is a must have item though!!!Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14202542250074001025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-828280599840379764.post-92056346279660426832012-12-01T16:29:41.053-05:002012-12-01T16:29:41.053-05:00Wow what a hit!

I'm doing so many diy projects for my soon-to-be-born baby girls nursery that I'm kind of scared to take on another time consuming project. (Especially since I typically go to bed when my 3 year old does at 8pm) So... my question is... do you know how many circles you needed? Because if I can buy pre-cut circles it would help a lot! Thanks! Raychelnoreply@blogger.com
