You can implement the DIY idea according to your taste. Whether you decorate the lanterns with photos of your loved ones or with snapshots of the last romantic walk is up to you.
Just follow our step-by-step instructions and tinker the lanterns yourself.
That's what you need for the lanterns:
- Fotovorlage
- Transparent paper for printing (possibly in the copy shop)
- Straight edge glasses
- double-sided adhesive tape (eg from Tesa)
- tealights
- scissors
And that's how easy it is:
1. Print photo on tracing paper.
2. Cut the tracing paper to glass size.
3. Place transparent paper around the glass and fix with double-sided adhesive tape.
4. Place tealights in the lanterns .
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.
