Colorful flowers

Spring is coming and we long for friendly colors, but the coziness must not be neglected. These lanterns are the perfect combination.

You need this for the lantern:

  • 2 napkins in different colors
  • myrte
  • Gift Ribbon (Craft Shop / Department Store)
  • Dekosteinchen (Dekoladen, eg from the depot)
  • Glass lantern
  • 3 thin candles
  • scissors
  • small pliers

And that's how easy it is:

1. Unfold napkins and cut in half with scissors.

2. Place two halves of different colors on top of each other.

3. Fold out accordion-like from the short end.

4. Fasten in the middle with a myrtle wire.

5. Separate the sides in a butterfly shape.

6. Separate the individual layers and form them into a flower.

7. Attach the flowers to a ribbon.

8. Bind flowers on the ribbon around the lantern filled with decoration stones.

9. Put the three candles in the decoration stones.

Important! Do not allow candles to burn unattended and avoid drafts. Keep the burning bowl clean. If the candle smokes, wick shorten something. Only burn the candle on an incombustible base or use a self-extinguishing candle.
