What do you do when you have just ONE vintage jack stand...that's missing the actual jack? Turn it into a four-sided Christmas lantern, of course.

So this is what I started with- a challenge from a friend: Take this vintage camper jack stand from my barn, and repurpose it into something cool.
Challenge accepted! With that Christmas tree shape, I knew it'd be a December project. So I gave it a bright coat of green paint...
And then I looked through my stash of vintage Christmas gift wrap and created "panels" for each side of the jack stand.
And carefully attached them to the inside of my painted jack stand with glue. Ta-da, a four-sided lantern!
And you know what? It's even prettier at night- plus each side is different (but coordinated).
Isn't that so cool? Well, I think so- and it would be a great little "tree" for a small space, like an apartment, boat, or tiny house. Merry Christmas!
