An updated lantern.....



I bought this lantern a few months ago and considered creating a flower arrangement on the top....

...but then a friend talked me into painting it...


...and now it sits on my front porch with a Luminara candle inside...


...and every night the candle glows for 5 hours!

Pin It

    Patti, I don't think you needed your arm twisted very much to paint this lantern with such a favorite pattern! I love it! Linda

    Surprised you didn't paint it immediately! '-)
    Love this idea for your front porch.

    Lovely! I'm always afraid to paint lanterns because I know I'll make a mess of the glass. =(
