DIY Lantern

Give your décor a stylish high-end look without the high-end price tag! Why pay expensive retail prices for a trendy lantern when you can create the same look for around $5 at your local Dollar Tree. We have a great selection of frames in a variety of styles, sizes, and colors to help you find exactly the look you want to match your décor, mood, or style. Plus, each frame is just $1 each, so you can make more to give to family and friends as housewarming gifts or just because!

Shop at Dollar Tree – Here's What You'll Need:

Easy Step-by-Step Directions:

  1. Remove the backing on each frame.
  2. Remove the glass pane, add some glue around the opening on the frame, and return the glass pane. Allow this to dry for several hours.
  3. Glue the edges of the four frames together, forming a cube.
  4. Allow your frames to dry overnight.
  5. Place a glass vase or candleholder filled with luster gems and a pillar candle inside your lantern... this is gorgeous as a decorative accent or for ambient lighting at dinner parties on the patio. If you plan to burn your candle, make sure it is secure in the glass holder and in a well-ventilated area.
