Dollar Tree Farmhouse Christmas Lanterns

11 Materials
$10
1 Hour
Easy

This is a fun holiday lantern using inexpensive materials to make these wonderful lanterns for under $10

What you’ll need:

2 metal buckets

2 glass vases

2 led lights

ribbon

2 picks

green wire stems

backers twine

hot glue gun

E 6000

scissors

razor

wire cutters

Start by removing the stickers and tags off the buckets and glass vase

Add E 600 and hot glue to the top of the bucket

We add both because the E 6000 takes 24 hours and the hot glue give instant bond

The reason you want it so secure is because we're putting the glass vase in that spot

Next we will use the LED light from dollar tree (this is optional, I want mine to light up)

Next make a bow

Tie with backer twine around the base, watch my youtube video for a few quick tips

Add pick under the bow

Use your green stem to top of your pick. It helps cover the stem

I did not glue it I just added it and glued pinecones and bow to greens this is just to cove the switch

So it should look like this when you turn on

This is how it looks without light, still cute.

Here they are all done!

And the light goes a long way... this is them in the dark! (peep my little gnomes in the back)

    These are adorable. I may try to make these as I have the cans. I have not seen these lights at our Dollar Tree but will look again. So how much do you sell these for?

    Where did you get those cute led lights?

    These are beautiful! If you added a round mirror between the glass and the can it would be even brighter while hiding the glue.
