Miy Recycled Bottle Lanterns
"Fiesta Lanterns"

Miy Recycled Bottle Lantern Craft: Kids Summer Craft Project
"Summer illuminations" Fiesta Lanterns
Looking for a fun way to illuminate summer nights. Make festive lanterns using recycle plastic water or pop bottles. Recycle craft for creative illuminations, ideals the patio, beach parties, BBQ gatherings, at home or at the cottage...always a delight! They are embellished with wire handles and beads.
Kids of all ages can easily makes this colourful creations. It’s a fun project kids can make at home, day camps, or at the cottages. It’s a great project to do with a group of children on a rainy day!

The organizers of the Hudson "First Annual Music Festival and Street Fair Lantern Parade" have selected me to be their feature local artist for the upcoming events. I was total surprised honored to see that they had selected on of my pictures for their poster and publicity. I created these Fiesta lanterns using water and pop bottles with my little assistant Hayden. I will be giving lantern workshops to local day camp kids. The Hudson Music festival and lantern parade events are August 1st, 2009.

For spectacular illumination, I highly recommend to use glow sticks. Glow sticks or flashlights because they are much safer to used and last for hours. Kids can even bring glow sticks lantern in their tents or camps outs.

MIY Teen Decor Camouflage Cargo Chairs


MIY Teen Decor Camouflage Cargo Chairs
Have a seat...if you can find it!

This is a very cool summer project that teens can do and have fun with it too!

Looking for a fun and unique way to revive old, weathered plastic patio chairs
and furniture? Transform them into creative works of art for your outdoor retreat
or teen décor for their space. Camouflage plain chairs to blend into nature’s
tapestry of colours. By now, everyone must be familiar with the new types of
paints for plastic items that are formulated specially to revitalize old weathered plastic patio furniture that is stained or bleached-out by the sun. Recycle by rejuvenating these or other plastic pieces that otherwise would be tossed in the trash.

I painted the chairs in a classic camouflage pattern inspired by my lids cargo clothing. This is sure to add a dose of humor to outdoor entertaining. These very cool chairs are now my official summer boot camp chairs. The kids love them. Ideal for teen summer décor projects, perfect to decorate their space with style.

A great super summer projects to keep teens creative, and perfect to decorate their space with their style! TO view the full MIY project with step-by-step photos visit
