Materials for the homemade version

You can choose the size, color and material of the light body yourself. You should also get the following things to create the Easter decoration with a lantern:

  • Floral foam
  • Moss (real or artificial)
  • Flowers (real or artificial)
  • any greens and berries to fill the arrangement
  • a candle (real or LED)
  • wire cutters (if you are using artificial flowers)
  • Hot glue and hot glue gun
  • Adhesive tape for flowers

Cut out a piece of any size from the floral foam. Make sure the piece is a little larger than the top of the lantern you will be attaching it to. To attach, first use hot glue and then additionally the adhesive tape. Then use hot glue to attach the moss to the floral foam. This should cover the entire piece nicely.

Next, take the wire cutters and use them to cut the stems of the artificial flowers and the greenery to the desired length. You can do this step by step if you are unsure about the length. For example, start with some green and trim it down. Insert it into the floral foam and only then select the next elements in order to be able to better estimate the correct length. We recommend alternating flowers and greenery regularly. Continue doing this until you are satisfied with the result.

Finally, design the interior. To do this, you use moss again, which you attach with hot glue like a carpet. Now put the candle inside.

Easily design the Easter decoration with lantern according to your ideas and needs.
