Firstly, here is what you’ll need:
- Lantern Box
- Lights
- Mini Church
- Figurines
- Faux snow
- Greenery/Pine trees
- Hot glue gun
- Pine cones and cotton
Secondly, let’s get the inside of this Christmas Lantern decorated! You’ll want to first glue your pine trees and greenery to foam board. I did this because it helps keep the greenery up right in the background. Afterwards, I placed the church in and added my figurines surrounding it. The figurines I used were a snowman, light post, and truck but you can switch it up how you see fit.
Thirdly, I added some greenery, pine cones and cotton to the lid of the Christmas Lantern. I think it gave the Christmas Lantern such a wintery feel, but this step it optional. Since the lantern has a lid, it makes it really easy to take off and add items inside and to the top. Moreover, I added a bow to the top as well. And I did this by tearing some scrap fabric and tying it into a cute shabby chic bow.
Finally, you have a super cute Christmas Lantern! I absolutely adore this DIY, not only is it budget friendly, but it’s also perfect for home decor. I hope you love it as much as I do, please check out the blog for more DIYs like this one!
