How to Create a Winter Wonderland Lantern
Who said lanterns were just for candles? This Winter Wonderland Lantern is a great way to contain the Christmas decor sprawl and works well for apartment dwellers short on space to decorate for the holiday and winter seasons.
I went with a lantern because it contains the scene and it's large enough to add some fun winter details to the space.
WINTER WONDERLAND LANTERN INSPIRATION
- glass jar or accessory
- artificial snow
- mini bottle brushes
- fairy lights
- town figurine or decor
- Christmas trees
I went the bohemian route with my lantern this year. Instead of the flakey white stuff I used leftover faux fur scraps from another project on Hometalk (reupholstered a side table).
Honestly, I think the faux fur snow makes this scene so cozy!
I snagged the little ceramic house in the dollar section at Target last year. I added a battery operated tea light and loved the glow.
I opted for fresh greenery and added a few sprigs of pine from the yard. The bright green and fresh scent just added to this winter wonderland.
For the town scenery I printed a free printable of a row of lamp posts. I loved this scene and it just added to the mood of a winter evening.
The winter wonderland came together.
The addition of the tea light cast a warm glow inside the window panes of the lantern.
Thank you for taking the time to check out this fun twist on a lantern.

Love this, thank you !! I have a large white wood lantern that I believe a snow scene with my white ceramic church would look amazing...no more boring candles inside ! This site and the people who contribute such as yourself, help people like me to rethink items we already have in our homes. I need help to think outside the box or in this case the lantern !! Thanks again and stay safe 😷 !
