Christmas decorated lantern
A nice souvenir for Advent visit or a decoration for your own home: Christmas lantern from a coffee glass.
My husband drinks instant coffee and I have collected some glasses. The angular shape is doing very well as a lantern.
All you need is:
- Any Christmas decorations that you usually have left over
- Packing tape or ribbon
- Artificial snow
- 1 tealight per glass
This is how it's done:
- The screw cap is wrapped with ribbon or - who likes it more rustic - with packing tape
- Any decoration is hung on it - either festive or modern - to adapt the colors
- Into the glass comes some artificial snow, possibly matching Streudeko as star and a tealight
It is of course important to ensure that the glass does not burn unattended, although it never burned with me as a candle lover.
Whoever is unsure gives an additional small glass, e.g. a schnappspinnchen on the artificial snow and put the tealight in there or used from the outset battery-powered tealights.
This small quickly made decoration is well received as a gift and also looks very nice on your own windowsill.
