It's project month on Apartment Therapy, so what better way to start off than a great winter DIY for your kid's room? You might like this snowball light so much, though, that you decide to steal it for yourself.
Monica over at Crafty Nest added her own twist to the spate of coffee filter crafts floating around (brewing up?) the internet lately. With some hardware mesh, 800 coffee filters and about 16 hours of work, she came up with this beautiful wall light. In her tutorial she admits that you can make it with fewer filters and less time, and she gives you all the detailed instructions and photos.
It's definitely a statement piece and probably a seasonal one at that, but we think it could add a fun winter touch to a child's room. Are you game?

Love this idea! So easy and modern. I'm going to make this myself!
i attempted this a while back .... it takes sooooooooo long and you use 10x the amount of filters and glue as youd expect. also gets heavy using hot glue. i didnt finish it.... if i try it again it'll be with a very small lantern
had some friends that attempted this on a rather large paper lantern after falling in love with the idea when seeing them at a wedding. like cccb12, they found out that doing this project required waaaaaaayyyyyyy more time and materials than they had expected and now they have a 1/4 finished project. (if that)
must admit though when they're done, they look really really awesome.
