Just Might DIY

Having just gotten back from a trip to Turks & Caicos for JZ’s birthday, we wanted a fun way to display some of our photos. It was perfect timing, too, because Hiipoo had sent us some of their Waterslide Decal Paper to try out! The concept we landed on was to create photo lanterns. We are so thrilled with how these turned out, and the great news is that they were pretty easy to make once we worked through a few kinks (particularly which sealant to use)! And best of all – if you want to create something like this, it requires relatively few materials–and most you already have!

See how we made these Waterslide Photo Lanterns in the video below!
