Description
Create beautiful and eco-friendly fairy lanterns using simple materials that bring a magical ambiance to any space.
Ingredients
- Empty toilet paper rolls
- White glue or a glue stick
- LED tea lights
- Craft paint (various colors)
- Scissors
- Craft knife
- Paintbrush
- Optional: glitter, decorative paper, or washi tape
Instructions
- Start with clean and dry toilet paper rolls. Trim the roll if you desire a shorter lantern.
- Use the craft knife to carefully cut shapes into the sides of the roll. Think stars, hearts, or abstract patterns. Make sure to leave some part of the roll uncut to maintain stability.
- Use a brush to apply craft paint to the outside of the roll. Consider using multiple colors to create a gradient or a fun design. Allow the paint to dry completely.
- If desired, add glitter or decorative paper to enhance the aesthetics. Secure any additional elements with glue.
- Place an LED tea light inside the roll. Turn on the light and watch the patterns shimmer!
Notes
For a rustic touch, incorporate natural elements like twine or dried flowers. Ensure safety by using LED lights instead of real candles.
