DIY Lantern Wall Decor

 

This simple rustic project will give dimension to the walls in your front entrance or hallway.

 

 

 

 

Make your own lantern décor with these four pieces:

·         Wood

I had leftover wood from previous projects but you can buy precut wood at Home Depot or cut it yourself to fit your lanterns. My lanterns were 14 inches tall and 5 inches wide so the wood fit well at 17 inches tall and 12 inches wide. Pictured here is the Minwax stain Red Oak.

 

·         Lanterns

I purchased these lanterns from Homegoods probably under $15. They originally had battery powered candles attached but I disassembled them and bought my own candles, you can see the empty hole on the bottom of the lantern where the candles used to be.

 

 

·         Hooks

I found these decorative wrought iron hooks at Hobby Lobby. This size was about medium (6 inches) compared to the others. Depending on how big your lanterns are and how far away you want them from the wall you may want a specific size hook.

 

·         Candles

Believe it or not these candles were being sold at the grocery store I go to. It was important to me to have the candles in jars as I didn’t want them to melt on the bottom of the lantern.
