DIY liquid dish soap is so simple to make, I’m surprised more people aren’t making it themselves. Not only is it very easy to make, but it’s inexpensive, and isn’t loaded with a ton of unrecognizable ingredients (which is what you’ll get from store-bought dish soap).

As I was browsing Pinterest one day, I stumbled upon a lantern made from picture frames. I though it was darling - and I wanted one, too!
First, remove the back and picture from your frames, leaving just the frame and glass
Then attach the glass to the frame by removing the glass, adding a dot of hot glue to each corner, and sticking the glass back on. Be careful to apply the glue as high in the corner as possible, so the glue won’t be seen from the front of your frame.
Next, and this is optional, cut thin strips of electrical tape. I used a ruler and knife to ensure my lines were fairly straight.
Then apply it to the back of each frame - so it takes on the appearance of leaded glass. The lantern looks pretty without as well, so feel free to skip this step.
Finally, hot glue your lantern together. Lay one frame flat, add a thin strip of hot glue to one side and attach a frame. Hold for ten seconds. Then repeat on the other side. Hold for ten seconds. Finally, apply a strip of glue to both top edges, and stick your final frame on. Hold for ten seconds.
You can add a bottom to your lantern, or a top, but I think it is pretty just like this.
I put a candle in mine, but it could also be used for flowers. A glass vase inside, with the flowers, would look lovely.
Adding black and white pictures to the frames would be a great way to truly personalize your lantern. The frames could also be painted (before gluing in the glass) to match any decor!
