โœจ ๐ŸŒŸ Next week at Sip 'n' Stick! You can make a collaged / decoupaged paper lantern โœจ ๐ŸŒŸ (Or just Junk Journaling / Sticker Book if you prefer, of course ๐Ÿฅฐ)

I've been seeing these for ages on social media and I made a practice one a few weeks ago. They are so lovely and so simple to make. $15 inc a lantern. BYO fairy lights to go inside. I recommend Look Sharp Store, they have a huge selection of really inexpensive lights to go inside. Next Wednesday 6:30pm.
