Equipment

Clippers or kitchen scissors
Hot glue gun and glue sticks or craft glue
Scissors
Paintbrush(es)

Materials

Glass jars or votives
Thin branches
Acrylic paint white
Baker’s twine or yarn
Tealights or LED tealights

Instructions

Before beginning, wash and dry your glass jars or votives inside and out with warm water and mild soap. Let dry.

Choose branches and cut them into lengths the height of your glass jar using kitchen scissors or clippers.

Give your branches a light brushing of white paint. You’re going to just put a little bit of white paint on the brush and go over the branches (remove most of the paint on a paper towel first).

Begin gluing your twigs around the jar, getting them as close to each other as possible. You can use either craft glue or hot glue. If you use craft glue, you’ll need to position the glass on its side and work one section at a time (and let dry) so the sticks don’t fall off. Once all the twigs have been added, let the glass and twigs dry completely.

Add the twine or yarn to the lantern. Place a dab of glue on one twig and place the twine down into it. Let set. Wrap the twine around several times and glue. Trim with scissors.

Repeat at the bottom with more twine and let your lantern dry completely before using. Add an LED tea light and enjoy the glow.
