Create an illuminated lantern using wool and leaves

This is a step by step tutorial showing you how to make an illuminated lantern over a jar and decorated with leaves. It was very much an experimental project which worked well. You will need an old jar or bottle, a small amount of merino wool, leaves which are still quite flexible, and items to decorate the neck and base for example jute, ribbon, wool and buttons.

Your voice is very, very low. I have my speaker up as high as I can go and I still can't hear you very well at all.
