Supplies
1 cylinder-shaped glass hurricane lamp, 9 inches by 4 1/2 inches in diameter
3 sheets of clear or white vellum paper
Color-copy machine
3 sheets of a Lotería game
Scissors
Foil tape
Double-sided tape
Glass votive holder with candle
Directions: Insert one sheet of vellum into the color-copier paper tray (either at a local copy center or on a home ink-jet printer). Lay the Lotería sheet on the copier glass and enlarge to 129 percent. Make the copy and repeat the process until you have three printed sheets.

Use scissors to trim the border of the printed vellum. Apply the double-sided tape to the edges of the sheet. One at a time, affix a sheet to the hurricane lamp so that the top edge of the vellum aligns with the top edge of the lamp. Repeat with the remaining sheets to cover the entire lamp. Trim off any excess vellum around the bottom of the lamp. Cut the foil tape into two strips, each measuring 9 inches long and 1/2-inch wide. Affix the tape around the top and bottom edges of the lamp. Set the glass votive holder with candle on a base and place lamp on top.

Tips and variations: Use the same application, except with family photos, copies of vintage book covers or colorful calendar pages. The printed vellum can also be used to make hanging lanterns or to line the outside of candles, partitions and more.
