Starting with wanting to display my Creche/Manger Scene figures and faux sugared pears better. I came up with a way to use my 2 large red Candle Lanterns!

Another quick and easy project at http://larsend6.wix.com/fabandpretty#!home-decor-blog-diy/c1unp
Manger Scene with Led Light Candle Lantern
The steps are really quite easy you just need large square lanterns, glue gun, pliers, possibly tin snips, wire edged mesh ribbon and a small string of battery operated LED lights.

Many lanterns have a 'roof'. If you try this project with another style I would recommend a square lantern and you may have to tin snip a hole in the back to get your lights through!
