Tenth Make for Christmas - Jam Jar Lanterns


These little beauties will add a touch of sparkle to proceedings. Great for hanging in trees...


Jam Jar Lanterns

Difficulty: The Smalls can do it with a tiny amount of help.

You will need: jam jar, glue (modge podge or pva), paint brush, tissue paper, wire, wire cutters, tea light, matches.


Tear the tissue into little pieces.


Glue to the jar  to make a picture, or a pattern or a cutting edge post modern abstract image.


Once the glue is dry, give it another coat.

Bethlehem

Moon over lake in snow
 Once all is dry cut a 60 - 70 cm length of wire.


Twist round the top of the jar.


Bring the long end over the top and tuck through to make a handle.



Bend the handle into a pleasing shape.



Light a tealight and carefully drop into the lantern.
