Building Rustic Wooden Lanterns // Home Decor // Woodworking Project

This week, I'm tackling a project that's been on my Honey-Do list for quite a while: Rustic Wooden Lanterns. This is a fairly easy, beginner woodworking project. I milled my own square dowels out of a 2x6, but you could buy yours from the home center, if you prefer.

They lanterns are beautiful. Thank goodness your wife and daughter did the hard work to make them look so nice. Very nice video!!

[@WhiteLabWorkshop]

Thank you! I agree that it wouldn’t have been possible without those two carrying the work load. I was mainly there just to get in the way!

[@mountainviewturning5319]

Great ideal 👍

[@WhiteLabWorkshop]

Thanks!

[@KirstiePervinDavies]

Great video 👍🏻 the lanterns turned out great. Really nice decor bringing out the nice contrast of the paint. Love it.

[@WhiteLabWorkshop]

Thank you, Kirstie! My wife certainly did a great job with the color scheme too.

Great project idea 💡 just in time for the holidays 🎄. Looks great with the candles and decor 👍

[@WhiteLabWorkshop]

Thank you! My wife can take total credit for this one. I was just the manual labor to build it 😁

[@CommercialForest]

White Lab Workshop funny. When I saw the final frames of your video showing the end result I thought 💭 “ This is something my wife would buy at Cost Plus World 🌎 Market!”

[@WhiteLabWorkshop]

Haha! Now you can make one for her and impress her with your style! She doesn’t need to know where you got the idea...

Hello my friend.
That's a great idea. Rustic Wooden Lanterns Made. Very decorative and beautiful. Congratulations. Thank you for sharing. Huge greetings.

[@WhiteLabWorkshop]

Thank you and thanks for checking it out!

[@KellyConcepts]

I think you have some of the best thumbnails out of all of us. Awesome lanterns! I'm in the market for some sconces, maybe I should make them.

[@WhiteLabWorkshop]

Thanks, dude! These were an easy build that make for some nice decor. The one thing I will say is it is much more cost effective to rip your own square dowels than to buy them.

Hey , very nice family project .how much would they sell for

[@dianemacfie-loucks6392]

[@Dutchshedwoodshop]

Love the lanterns buddy 👍 thanks for sharing

[@WhiteLabWorkshop]

Thank you, sir!

[@sumosprojects]

G’day Brent, very nicely made these decorative items & fantastic your daughter has an appreciation for making a project with dad, keep up the great work 🍻👍👍👍

[@WhiteLabWorkshop]

Thanks, Sumo! I’m always happy when my kids want to join me in the shop. And it really helps when what we make turns out to look nice too!

[@Jordanwoodworking]

I always go rustic. BTW looks like you have a little woodworker on your hands. Looks good man

[@WhiteLabWorkshop]

Thanks man! I’ll take all the help I can get in the shop!

[@LonghornWorkshop]

They look nice man. That's a lot of work to make that many...lol

[@WhiteLabWorkshop]

Thank you, sir! It sure was a lot of work!

[@TheGrantAlexander]

Very cool project and great to see the kids helping out! I for one hate using my brad nailer for the exact reason you showed. Often the nails don't go all the way in, or they pop out the side. I'd rather spend a day using a jigsaw than brad nailing!!

[@WhiteLabWorkshop]

Thanks, Grant! I definitely agree about the brad nailer. I think I’d actually rather have a pneumatic one, but I tend not to need it very often so it’s not worth the change. Now my jigsaw I don’t mind working with. Maybe I’m just a glutton for punishment?

[@TheGrantAlexander]

@@WhiteLabWorkshop I have a pneumatic one, it sucks!

[@WhiteLabWorkshop]

Haha!

[@ritalockett9788]

Hello Brent,I love these wooden lanterns. Lanterns are very popular now in decorating,they are very versatile.You can decorate with them all year.I like the colors on both. Those will last a long time.

[@WhiteLabWorkshop]

Thank you, Rita! My wife had been requesting these for a while, so it made her happy that I finally made some. She loves them too!

[@stephenmcgeown]

Very nice project for the whole family to work on together! Thanks for making such an informative video.
