Eager eyes meet the postman when he delivers the Pottery Barn Teen catalog each month.

The PB Teen Spring Catalog had this paper lantern light fixture and I knew my teen would love it!

But I also knew I could make it for about 75% less.

Party City had 9.5in paper lanterns, in a 3-pack, in a variety of color choices for around $3.99.

Home Depot had 12ft. rope lights for around $10 and I picked up a swag hook for the ceiling.

Assemble 9 paper lanterns.

Screw your swag hook into the ceiling where ever you desire.

Thread the rope light through all the lanterns starting from the bottom, over the top and back down some.

Each lantern has a small hook on it, simply hook the lanterns together.

How cool is this!?!?!

This project could be done with any size lantern. Mix lantern sizes and colors for endless creative combinations!

  1. Okay this is genius! I love it! This is something she can take with her to college, too, because let me tell ya…the lighting in dorm rooms is not pretty!

  5. Too cool! I would have loved an awesome light like that when I was a teenager…. actually, I’d still love a light like that!
    The mirror over the dresser is very cool too. Did you buy it or is it another designer knockoff?

  9. Thanks everyone! To answer a few questions.
    @Homepodge: The circle mirror was from Target, bought in 2009.
    @ Randi: The rope lighting gives off 36 watts dispursed over a 12 ft. span. It barely even gets warm, even when left on for hours.

  10. L O V E !!!!!! You have got to be kidding me~! Amazing. I need this. It has a mid century modern feel that will be very cool in my house. And you can’t beat the price. I will link back when we do it. GREAT idea.

  19. You are my new favorite person!! I saw this lantern in the PB Teen catalog and I keep flipping back to it, trying to figure out how I can remake it! And you just solved my problem for me!! Thanks SOOO much!! I’ll be setting up one of these in my little brother’s room…he’ll be thanking you as well, I’m sure! =)

  22. I love a good knock off project. Especially when it’s from Pottery Barn. I am hosting a blog party. The link opens up tonight at 8pm EST. I hope you will stop by and join in the fun.

  24. I love this project. I’m so glad you stopped by and joined the party and shared this awesome idea. Hope to see you next week again.

  26. That is AWESOME! 😀 I acquired a set of 8 inch or so paper lanterns a while ago, and have been searching for the perfect way to use them for ages now..I think I’ve found it! Thank you! 😀 😀

  29. Love it! Hubby and I had bought a bunch of those to decorate for our wedding reception. Perfect use for all of those that are sitting around.

  34. Saw you on one of the linky parties and just had to say that this is pretty awesome! This just looks so fun (but not “take over the entire room and you can’t look at anything else because it’s just so dominant”)!

  38. I love that this could be used in a boys room as well. I can just see it in a modern masculine room with deep espresso, chocolate brown and maybe a touch of parrot green… 🙂

  39. Awesome idea and price friendly as well! My girls will love this idea! Quick question – did you paint your daughter’s dresser and if so, do you remember what color? Getting ready to re-do both girls rooms once school starts! Thanks!!
