Nestle Rowntree Quality Street Crafts

Nestle Rowntree Quality Street chocolates are probably as traditional at Christmas as Christmas pudding and a Christmas tree. If you are lucky enough to receive a big tin of Quality Street chocolates for Christmas, here are a few great ideas of things to do with the plastic wrappers.

Christmas Lantern
To make the Quality Street lantern you will need...
Lantern Ball Paper Lampshade in any size you wish, lots of Quality Street plastic wrappers, and PVA Glue.

First you will need to erect the paper lantern. It should have assembly instructions with it. Unfold the lantern and insert a wire expander inside the lantern, this slots into place and keeps the lantern erect and taught.

If you stand the lampshade in a cereal bowl it with make it easier to work on.

Working on the top half of the lampshade first, cover a patch of the lamp shade in PVA glue and stick the chocolate wrappers to the lamp shade, smooth them down with your brush. You can make some wrappers overlap slightly. Try to evenly spread the colours out.

Let the first half of the lampshade dry before turning the lampshade the other way up and sticking more Quality Street wrappers to the other half, in the same way.

Allow to dry before hanging up at a light. Great for creating a funky retro feel.
