Decorating Christmas lanterns is a quick and simple way to create a warm and welcoming feel for a holiday porch, fireplace hearth, mantel, or centerpiece. Make your lantern feel extra festive by filling it with twinkle lights, ornaments, figurines, pine cones, or unique candles.

There are many unique ways to decorate a lantern, from using painted glass jars with festive designs or adding paper doilies and sparkly beads around the base of the lantern. Get inspired by nature for your decorations and use pinecones, evergreen branches, or holly sprigs to give your lantern a rustic look.

Make a lantern filled with LEDs! No need for candles, keep it light-filled. Put pinecones or ornaments or both inside the lantern, add a bow on top. LEDs will help here to make a statement and highlight your pinecones/ ornaments. If you don’t want to fill your lantern with anything, just paint something on the glass.
