Halloween Lantern

You might remember from an earlier post I had this decorated bow I created attached to a pillar candle in a glass candle holder. Here is the picture as it looked then as part of my whimsy Halloween theme.


Yesterday at The Christmas Tree Shops I found this black metal lantern and when I saw it, it immediately reminded me of the beautiful lantern swags that the very talented Kristen makes over at Kristen's Creations. The lantern was only $9.99 and it included an attached battery operated candle. It stands 13 inches tall. Couldn't pass that deal up. In fact I need to pick up one more. The wheels in my head are already turning for Christmas decor and I am going to need another lantern for sure. I attached the bow in the same fashion Kristen taught me and I love how it looks.






Here it is lit up at night. What a warm glow. I don't have too many battery operated candles, but I must say I really like them a lot.


I hope you enjoyed my short post and I urge you to try this yourself. They are so pretty. I hope to make some more now that I got the hang of it. Thanks so much for joining me today and thanks to Kristen for always inspiring me with something beautiful.

Love, Patty

  5. Cute lantern, too, Patty! Thanks for answering me about the bottle light. Did you know that you're a "no reply blogger"?? I couldn't email you back because of that. I do appreciate you answering my question. I've seen these cute lights around and was curious on what tool to use. XO
