This perfect-for-any-age project uses glass jars to give a warm glow to your entry or mantel. You can punch letters, a snowflake pattern, or any other festive design.
Materials
- a clean, dry glass jar
- aluminum foil
- foam tray for work surface
- pen or toothpick
- tape
- tea light
Instructions
- To make each lantern, clean and dry a glass jar. Measure and cut a piece of aluminum foil to fit around it with a bit of overlap.
- Lay the foil on a meat tray or other foam tray, then use a pen or toothpick to pierce holes through the foil to create a design or letter. (If desired, you can use a toothpick to lightly score the design or letter on the foil first, then pierce holes along the guidelines.)
- Carefully wrap the foil around the jar and tape it. Place a tea light inside.
