I make these every year. Been doing them for about 12 years.
Didn’t know there was anyone else that did them. This is great to know someone else does too.
I would’ve just gotten an extra frame and that way I’d have four short pieces without having to cut them down. Just a thought.
I love the scene you put inside your lantern! Very nice!!!!!!!
I bought a lantern from a thrift store.......filled it up with items I've already had in my Christmas decoration boxes! Easypeesy!!
5 years after and still this lantern it’s one of the best I’ve saw..👏👏👏.. Happy Holidays
Great idea, the possibilities are endless!
Turned out so pretty. So glad you added a top.
No leave the bow. It ties it all together with the pop of red. Beautiful! Thanks for the idea
What a talent! It's very beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
What a great and inexpensive idea. Brilliant!
Very nice! Not looking at all like a dollar store DIY! Thank you for sharing.
I've seen the dollar lanterns a'lot but never with the "roof" which is what i wanted. this looks very high end I cant wait to try it.
Very nice! First time I saw someone take apart frame for roof...looks great...thanks for sharing!
Very cool! It turned out nice & festive. Thanks for sharing it's!
You could turn the cardboard inside out so there's less black to deal with or spray paint the cardboard white or... just use something white to begin with. Beautiful project & definitely making this !! Totally gift-worthy :)
Your wedding rings caught my eye! :D Thank you for sharing! Love it!
Wow who knew! I usually don't even decorate for Christmas but I might make an exception this year! I really like making these kind of projects! I could make them for friends and family! See ya I'm heading to dollar tree!
That lantern you just made is the most beautiful Xmas gift you could ever give to anyone you really loved & wanted to show your presence without being there in person.
I so far made 8 for Christmas Presents as one friend saw mine and as me where she could buy one, I told her I would look it up on my recipes when I had time as in 2 days we were getting together to exchange gifts so the girls were thrilled when they saw their Lanterns and they wanted more made, so I will be busy in the next few days, A BIG THANK YOU FOR THE SHOWING THESE LANTERNS,
You are amazing! And, you never cease to amaze me! Two thumbs up!!!
I used the small plastic tubes, but the Dollar stores in our area only have the large sizes, so I looked around the Dollar tree store and found plastic silver napkin holders that work real well and look real nice as I made 10 so far for gifts, and made another today since its snowing I made one for Valentine's day with hearts and a white turtle dove and red & white flowers very pleased with it . you might want to look @ the napkin rings in the party section where the plastic glasses and dishes are.
To more easily access the lights you could put a hole through the tray and feed LED lights up through it, then glue the battery pack to the bottom. Also use white cardboard to make the stands for the tree and sleigh so that they don't show through the snow (or cover in white paper). But I agree with how clever this was, particularly the pointed roof. I didn't expect that and it was awesome.
Beautiful, i really loved this tutorial and all your ideas. Good work
I love it. the bow is perfect.
You make this the best of all who have tried on here
What a beautiful lantern. I am going to try to make it. 🙏
Brilliant! Idea! Keep the lantern and swap out the decorated trays for each season! GORGEOUS final product!
i love this lantern, i shall attempt. the valentine one is gorge as well
Darling. Love home made projects
Beautiful....Also your kitchen is Fabulous
Turned out awesome, love the big bow on it ..
Gina Diefenbach thanks Gina!
Love the bow on top!
For the little prongs or brackets on the back of the frames, I use an old butter knife to lift them up. Saves your fingernails.
Frances Walker the ones on these frames bend pretty easily
Jessaleigh Oh okay, that's good. :)
This was great and I agree with the others, wire cutters are a must! I think I may have put a small hole in the bottom to run the lights thru and secured the switch to the back for easy reach. I can see this with the frames painted before adding the glass back, very versatile. Thanks for sharing!
Very nice! I 💚 The dollar store too! Def going to do this!!
That came out beautifully!
Happy Holidays The Lantern is beautiful
Very creative! Well done tutorial !! Thank you !
Thank you for properly gluing the frames together so it makes a square! Yours is the only tutorial I've seen that you alternated them!
That is lovely and looks very strong too. Keep up the good work. Will watch for more of your work. Well done. X ☺️
That came out beautifully
mind blown! doing this, for sure!
You are seriously a genius. The lanterns are very expensive, when you buy them already made. Who would have thought of using picture frames, great job! Thank you so much for the tutorial, I am going to try my hand at these for sure.
This was a great idea the lanterns are quite pricey I may try this for a craft myself love it 😊
Very pretty I am going to try this, TFS
love love dollar store stuff craft
I'm so happy I stumbled across this video. I actually clicked on it by accident but subscribed as soon as I saw how methodical she was. I definitely trying this out. Thank you
Very pretty and very clever!
These would be so easy and fun to make for Christmas craft sales! o:
So cute great imagination!!
I made it.....it turned out beautiful ......that's so much for the video
i love your tutorial so clear and easy to follow.. thank you
Such a cute puppy!
Took your lantern idea and made some candles from toilet paper rolls w/hot glue drippings painted white and glittered. added some greenery and battery tealights and a bow...came out great..thanks for the inspiration.
would love to see your please post a photo.
Again a great tutorial!! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
You did a great job.The finished project is lovely.I think I will make one with an angel theme.Thanks so much for a beautiful idea.
7:34 Just FYI- hot glue will hold initially but for a more permanent hold I’ve found that it helps to alternate it with E-6000. I only mention this because I plan on using my lantern more than one year and may mail some to family as gifts.
Beautiful job. Thanks for sharing 😁🌹
I make memory boxes and use the battery operated lights on them , what I usually do is leave the battery pack outside of the box and hide it inside of a bow or ribbon, or behind the frame, which makes it easier to turn on and off.
Soooooooo cute!
Your creativity is amazing!
Every room in my home has a Christmas item in it every day of the year, but no one ever notices. This is great. I hand make my tree every year and was looking for a lantern idea for this years tree which includes magnolia flowers (granda fFlora and little gen), a wicker goose and super cool black diamond studded branches.I needed a lantern on my tree platform and this is perfect. Thanks for the video.
Cute project. Thanks for sharing.
Wow...really enjoyed this tutorial..thanks so much 😊
