Simple, purtistic and icy – a semi-transparent lantern
In this model onewinter lanternAlthough it is frosted glass, you can still imitate it using simple means. Simply use tracing paper instead of glass and you'll get the same wintery effect! If you can't find a ready-made metal frame that meets your expectations, you can also build one yourself.
Only use LED candles and under supervision, due to the increased risk of fire caused by the paper!
- Take two metal rings of the same size for the bottom and the top edge.
- Connect them together using a homemade wire mesh. It doesn't have to be perfect as this is just a decoration and you won't be carrying the lantern around.
- Cut a circle out of the parchment paper with the same diameter as the rings to make a base for winter window decorations (optional, the lantern can also be left open at the bottom and simply placed over the candle).
- Cut out a rectangle of parchment paper that is slightly longer than the circumference of the lantern and roll it into a cylinder and glue it together. Place it in the wire rack.
- Now you can form a handle out of wire and tie it to the frame.
- Place the lantern in the window and a large LED candle inside.
How about making and adding another wire lantern as a winter window decoration? The arrangement would also look really great in a group of three (preferably at different heights)!
