How to decorate a lantern for Christmas
I gathered up some items for my lanterns, starting with my larger lantern.
To hang a snowflake to the back of the lantern; I used a piece of floral wire, thread it through the top and wrapped it around the spinal.
I added a 12-inch table top Christmas tree decor in the back to one side of the lantern.
Next, I added Santa next to the tree.
Adding two more smaller trees inside the lantern as well, one behind and one to the side of Santa.
I placed a strand of battery-operated lights to the trees. I thread the lights through the top of the lantern wrapping around each tree.
To give the look of a snowy ground, I added some fake snow to the bottom of the lantern.
I added a pinecone, evergreen twig and berries to the snow for decorations.
To hide all the wires, I placed on top of the lantern, I placed greenery,berries, a red hydrangea and a bow.
This lantern couldn’t be any cuter!
Now let’s decorate the smaller lantern. I added a candle holder with a bow and to the bottom added fake snow and decorations as well. On top I added a bow.
I just love how the lanterns look all dressed up for Christmas!
