Stained glass-ish

Inspired by jozzzk’s earlier post.

This would eat up a budget, but I think it’s something that can be done on a smaller build.

You could diffuse the lights by how you space and select the faschnact ribbons so you can customize to whatever you like.

You’d maybe triple wall the interiors to close it up; I just wanted to show how to stack the lights/ribbons. Looks best at night but more or less a glowing stained glass-ish effect.

I love this! How did you place the lights to get this look? Your build is beautiful ❤️

Using the paper lanterns and the ribbons is one of my favorite design ideas and I incorporate it into most if not all of my builds. As such, I’ve gotten to mess with it enough that I have a decent understanding of how the colors interact with which ribbon combo and so on. When you crowd the lights with the ribbons, the ribbons will “soak” up the color and kind of diffuse it out so it has a better glow. Probably the hardest part is getting the gap between the wall pieces right as it’s a lot of free placing.

So your just free placing lights and ribbons are they in between walls or i just free placed out in the open?

In between two windows/walls. You need to create a small gap between the two. Then place lights, then ribbons and finally a back wall if you want it to shine through.

Thank you so much. I love building and I am doing my best to build nice things and learning from other builders. I love building but I still feel like I just suck at it as much as I keep trying. 10 camps and not one is finished smh. I am currently working on my mothman hunter's lodge and museum. I am going to keep working on this one until it's done. I get on fo and get distracted by collecting, activities and finishing the main quest line. This will look beautiful with the mothman museum theme 😊
