All you need for a lantern is to give your rectangular finish a peak and add a screw eye (available in the framing department of craft stores). I just used a Sharpie permanent marker to color the screw eye black. Info on the design is in this post. The holly garland is several years old, from Hobby Lobby.
Another beautiful and creative finish for you!

LOL!
DeleteFabulous finish, Honeybee! Did you do it in two pieces (one for the body and one for the peak)? You are inspiring.
ReplyDeleteOne piece. Much easier that way! ;O)
DeleteIngenious !! Also to think of a Sharpie instead of reaching for a spray can.
ReplyDeleteJust such a lovely creation....again..
Love your creativityđ

Love the finish Honeybee. Do you mind if I save a copy of your finished piece for future reference in finishing ? I'll be sure to credit your blog if I finish a piece this way.
