Are you planning a big garden party and don't have enough lanterns? That can be changed very quickly; here is an idea on how to quickly and inexpensively create decorative lanterns yourself.
DIY quick and cheap lanterns
What you’ll need:
A few things are needed to craft the lantern:
- nice large glass jars (jam or pickle jars)
- pebbles, sand
- decoration: flowers, leaves
- tea lights or pillar candles
- possibly thin wire, ropes
Instructions for the DIY lanterns
Wash the glass jars thoroughly, dry them, and fill them with the stones or sand. Just don't fill them too high; the candle must remain inside the glass so that a gust of wind cannot blow it out. Then place the candle inside and decorate with the flowers.
Lanterns for hanging
For a garden party, it looks nice to hang a few jars on branches or on the fence. To do this, simply tie thin wire around the jars and then hang them on wire or ropes.
