DIY: Candlelight Lantern
Make your own candlelight lantern and light up those dreary winter nights. To read all the instructions head over here.
Ingredients:
* Clay saucer
* Clean, damp sand
* Hurricane chimney
* Candle (make sure it is shorter than the top of the hurricane glass; I use something called “utility candles” — they seem to be the perfect size)
* Heavy twine (optional)
* Flowers (optional)
You can make these lanterns more special by arranging flowers in the damp sand around the hurricane chimney to make a centerpiece. Two or three of these on your table makes for a really special glow.
Using heavy twine, you can hang these to have more room on your table:
Use 3 strands of twine at least three feet long — you don’t want the twine to catch fire. Tie the twine in a knot at both ends and balance the saucer with sand, hang, and then add the candle and the hurricane chimney.
