Doily Lanterns

I made three doily lanterns back in December, just in time for Christmas but I never got around to sharing them with you.

This weekend during Earth Hour they were the first thing I lit.

These were super easy to make…that’s ME…needs to be EASY!

All you need are some empty pasta sauce jars (any other jars will do), Mod Podge and some small doilies.

1) Brush some Mod Podge on the jar

2) Add the doily

3)Brush more Mod podge over the doily and let dry

They sit on my window sill and every night I light a tea-light in them.

I have added some twine to the top and an extra embellishment at Christmas…

The pine cone and faux pine has been removed but the twine remains.

It is pretty easy to add other embellishments depending on the season or mood I am in…

Thanks for coming by,

Margaret

Do you use paper doilys or cloth ones?

Sometimes you can get those small doilies at the dollar store Arlene.

I saw your doily candles, and I have an older friend that would just love them, so I will have to buy the doilies and make them. I was never too good at sewing, thanks arlene
