Lantern Challenge: Festive Christmas Lantern Decoration

Christmas is my absolute favorite time of the year, and I love creating festive home decor to get my house ready for the holidays.  By dressing up a lantern with some basic supplies, many that you probably already own, you can create a gorgeous Christmas lantern decoration that is very versatile and easy to change each season.  Plus, it just takes a few minutes to create which is an added bonus for this busy time of year!

Christmas-Lantern-Decoration-DariceFestive Christmas Lantern Decoration Supplies:

  • Darice Metal Lantern.
  • Pillar Candle.
  • Darice Pinecones.
  • Darice Berry Garland.
  • Scissors.
  • Darice Mini Pine Garland.
  • Darice Jingle Bells.
  • String.
  • Epsom Salt.
  • Ribbon.

Step one.  Place candle inside the lantern.  Using a spoon, sprinkle epsom salt all around the candle to mimic the look of snow.

Christmas-Lantern-Decoration-Darice-1Step two.  Scatter a few small pinecones around the candle.
