I make these every year. Been doing them for about 12 years.
Didn’t know there was anyone else that did them. This is great to know someone else does too.
5 years after and still this lantern it’s one of the best I’ve saw..👏👏👏.. Happy Holidays
I bought a lantern from a thrift store.......filled it up with items I've already had in my Christmas decoration boxes! Easypeesy!!
I love the scene you put inside your lantern! Very nice!!!!!!!
I would’ve just gotten an extra frame and that way I’d have four short pieces without having to cut them down. Just a thought.
No leave the bow. It ties it all together with the pop of red. Beautiful! Thanks for the idea
You could turn the cardboard inside out so there's less black to deal with or spray paint the cardboard white or... just use something white to begin with. Beautiful project & definitely making this !! Totally gift-worthy :)
Turned out so pretty. So glad you added a top.
That lantern you just made is the most beautiful Xmas gift you could ever give to anyone you really loved & wanted to show your presence without being there in person.
I've seen the dollar lanterns a'lot but never with the "roof" which is what i wanted. this looks very high end I cant wait to try it.
Very nice! Not looking at all like a dollar store DIY! Thank you for sharing.
I so far made 8 for Christmas Presents as one friend saw mine and as me where she could buy one, I told her I would look it up on my recipes when I had time as in 2 days we were getting together to exchange gifts so the girls were thrilled when they saw their Lanterns and they wanted more made, so I will be busy in the next few days, A BIG THANK YOU FOR THE SHOWING THESE LANTERNS,
Very nice! First time I saw someone take apart frame for roof...looks great...thanks for sharing!
What a talent! It's very beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
To more easily access the lights you could put a hole through the tray and feed LED lights up through it, then glue the battery pack to the bottom. Also use white cardboard to make the stands for the tree and sleigh so that they don't show through the snow (or cover in white paper). But I agree with how clever this was, particularly the pointed roof. I didn't expect that and it was awesome.
Great idea, the possibilities are endless!
Very cool! It turned out nice & festive. Thanks for sharing it's!
Your wedding rings caught my eye! :D Thank you for sharing! Love it!
Wow who knew! I usually don't even decorate for Christmas but I might make an exception this year! I really like making these kind of projects! I could make them for friends and family! See ya I'm heading to dollar tree!
What a great and inexpensive idea. Brilliant!
I used the small plastic tubes, but the Dollar stores in our area only have the large sizes, so I looked around the Dollar tree store and found plastic silver napkin holders that work real well and look real nice as I made 10 so far for gifts, and made another today since its snowing I made one for Valentine's day with hearts and a white turtle dove and red & white flowers very pleased with it . you might want to look @ the napkin rings in the party section where the plastic glasses and dishes are.
You are amazing! And, you never cease to amaze me! Two thumbs up!!!
Breathtaking !!! I love the big bow on the top, perfect touch. Amazing. TFS
Brilliant! Idea! Keep the lantern and swap out the decorated trays for each season! GORGEOUS final product!
Turned out awesome, love the big bow on it ..
Gina Diefenbach thanks Gina!
Thank you for properly gluing the frames together so it makes a square! Yours is the only tutorial I've seen that you alternated them!
That is lovely and looks very strong too. Keep up the good work. Will watch for more of your work. Well done. X ☺️
Beautiful, i really loved this tutorial and all your ideas. Good work
Beautiful....Also your kitchen is Fabulous
I cannot explain how much I love this. Lady you are extremely talented ❤️❤️❤️
Happy Holidays The Lantern is beautiful
These would be so easy and fun to make for Christmas craft sales! o:
Loved your project, made one as a centerpiece for my diningroom table along with domed globes. Painted my frames white to match my theme Thank u so much...
Did the lantern using 5x7 and 4x6 frames for my Christmas table centerpiece. They came out awesome and it was fun. Thanks for the idea. Loved it.
You are seriously a genius. The lanterns are very expensive, when you buy them already made. Who would have thought of using picture frames, great job! Thank you so much for the tutorial, I am going to try my hand at these for sure.
The lantern turned out really nice. You made it look so easy!! TFS💚🎄🎅❄️⛄️💚
I love it. the bow is perfect.
Love the bow on top!
What a beautiful lantern. I am going to try to make it. 🙏
For the little prongs or brackets on the back of the frames, I use an old butter knife to lift them up. Saves your fingernails.
Frances Walker the ones on these frames bend pretty easily
Jessaleigh Oh okay, that's good. :)
This was great and I agree with the others, wire cutters are a must! I think I may have put a small hole in the bottom to run the lights thru and secured the switch to the back for easy reach. I can see this with the frames painted before adding the glass back, very versatile. Thanks for sharing!
i love this lantern, i shall attempt. the valentine one is gorge as well
I'm so happy I stumbled across this video. I actually clicked on it by accident but subscribed as soon as I saw how methodical she was. I definitely trying this out. Thank you
Darling. Love home made projects
That came out beautifully!
Very pretty I am going to try this, TFS
Love it so whimsical and pretty. I would definitely like to try this project. Thanks for sharing all your decorating and diy ideas keep them coming ! 🙌🏻

Gorgeous! I would keep the bow on top!
What a great lantern! I want to go get the frames and try it now. Lanterns that look that good at Hobby Lobby cost around $50. Thanks for sharing.
That is beautiful! And the bow on the top is perfect !
Just Beautiful ! Leave the bow. Love it!
Your creativity is amazing!
Couple suggestions. You could have used 2 trays instead of making a point on top, one try on top for the lid. Also you could have put tinsel, beads, or other things inside of the "legs" you made. Cute idea adding lights. I think I will use solar lights just because I like the idea of not having to change the batteries as much lol. Another idea might be to add a music box. They have some nice electronic ones on ebay and amazon pretty cheap. I think maybe I might drill holes in the tray going in to the legs and poke a little light down in to each leg. A very light dusting of white shiny "angel dust" glitter or some tiny sequin snow flakes sprinked on the cotton 'snow' would really make that pop. If you wanted to hide the tabs holding the glass in the frames you could frost the edges of the glass with fake snow or etching liquid. Essential oils like cinnamon on your pinecones would make that smell nice too. Just some ideasI came up with watching. GREAT JOB!! Loved the video. Happy holidays!
Very nice! I 💚 The dollar store too! Def going to do this!!
You make this the best of all who have tried on here
So pretty! Thank you for showing us!
Love it and a bow on top is a must. I like that is interchangeable. you can use this Lantern all year round with different displays for all seasons and occasions. Great job!
WOW just beautiful. Thanks for recording this!
That came out beautifully
7:34 Just FYI- hot glue will hold initially but for a more permanent hold I’ve found that it helps to alternate it with E-6000. I only mention this because I plan on using my lantern more than one year and may mail some to family as gifts.
You did a great job.The finished project is lovely.I think I will make one with an angel theme.Thanks so much for a beautiful idea.
Took your lantern idea and made some candles from toilet paper rolls w/hot glue drippings painted white and glittered. added some greenery and battery tealights and a bow...came out great..thanks for the inspiration.
would love to see your please post a photo.
What a great idea! That looks really pretty.
I love how you constructed the top. It's really awesome
Love the music afterwards along with the video! Such a cleaver idea! 🎄 I love lanterns and this looks so easy and amazing.
I love that you explain everything in detail!!
Professional; loved watching/listening to all the important details for a quality project! Thanks
You explained everything. The best DIY I've seen!🎄Thank you!
Every room in my home has a Christmas item in it every day of the year, but no one ever notices. This is great. I hand make my tree every year and was looking for a lantern idea for this years tree which includes magnolia flowers (granda fFlora and little gen), a wicker goose and super cool black diamond studded branches.I needed a lantern on my tree platform and this is perfect. Thanks for the video.
This was a great idea the lanterns are quite pricey I may try this for a craft myself love it 😊
Beautiful job. Thanks for sharing 😁🌹
very beautiful holiday project! definitely giving this a try. thanks for sharing!!
Keep the bow on. Very pretty!
This is soooo pretty and can't wait to make one for myself and some for gifts. Thank you for sharing.

I love this! Thank you for sharing!! Now I have a new project for the holidays.👍🏽😁
I am so in love with this creation! Absolutely beautiful!!! I am always looking for decorating ideas for Christmas😍
I think the DIY lantern is a good idea for an outdoor decor because bad weather could always damage your decor or someone could steal it. My house is right on the sidewalk so that is what comes to mind is that people have direct access to my front door. But also when it’s very windy were I live my large pumpkins have gotten knocked over
Didn't you mean it is good idea for an indoor decor?
How beautiful!!!
Such a cute puppy!
Very pretty and very clever!
Absolutely beautiful!
can't wait to make one
Really cute and nicely done.
Brilliant and beautiful! Good job! TFS!
Great idea. What a great idea. Great video. Such exceptional directions. I laughed when you got out the bread knife. Lol. But it really worked!
Amazing. How lovely!
