A few months ago, my church ran Secret Friend again, and I decided to try making one of the homemade lanterns in the book.
First you need a jar (I used an old mayonnaise one) and a candle. I got Duncan to melt the bottom of the candle and stick it in the jar.
Then I glued some tissue paper around the outside, stuck some flowers on for decoration, then tied and glued a ribbon around the rim so the lantern can be hung if desired.
The photos aren't great, but it should look nice with the candle lit.
Stay tuned to see what I will make next. The patchwork skirt is looking very tempting.
