With its warm red and yellow tones, nature counteracts the cold in autumn and creates heartwarming autumn feelings. Autumn-decorated lanterns are a nice way to bring the autumn colors into your own home. They are a real highlight on the table and the flickering of the candles creates a warm and atmospheric atmosphere. Today we'll show you how easy it is to make this beautiful autumn decoration yourself.
What do you need to make autumn lanterns?
Glass lanterns are not difficult to find. They are offered everywhere and in very different sizes and designs. To ensure that the decorations are well attached, your lanterns should ideally have a cylindrical shape, without many curved lines.
You can find the materials for decorating the lanterns on a short trip into nature, where you can collect leaves and berry branches. The more colorful, the better!
Here is the full materials list:
- One or more glass vases / lanterns
- Scissors for the wire and branches
- Threads in different colors and materials, such as yarn and floral wire (better in copper)
- A rich selection of autumn leaves, flowers and berries
- Stumpenkerzen
How to decorate the autumn lanterns
Once all the materials are in place, you can let your creativity flow. Before you start, sort the natural material and see how the colors fit together.
1. Cut autumn leaves and berry branches to the desired length. Think about how you should arrange these around the lantern.
2. Wrap the floral wire or thread around the lantern a few times and pin the beginning and end in the horizontal windings.
3. Hold the leaves against the glass and make another wrap with the thread. Add more branches, flowers and leaves and again wrap the spun thread on the glass.
4. To get an even finer play of colors, you should change the threads from time to time. Try it out until your lantern gets the fall look you want.
5. Remember that the amount and density of decorations determines how much the candle's flame shines through.
