Why You’ll Love These Lantern Crafts
Have you ever looked at someone’s front porch or even visited a friend’s home and really enjoyed the extra lighting they had? If you want to create a similar ambiance to your living space, these lantern crafts are a simple and inexpensive way to do just that!
What are the best materials to use for DIY lanterns?
I have used a number of materials from old glass jars and brown paper bags to plastic Dollar Tree lanterns and reverse canvases. You can use just about any craft material. The one thing to keep in mind is depending on what you choose to use, you’ll need to use lighting that is safe. If you have children, I recommend always going the LED or battery-powered lights route.
