Christmas is coming soon, and with that comes decorating for the season. I love decorating with lanterns. There’s something about lanterns that remind me of Christmas. If you have ever noticed, in nativity scenes, there is sometimes a lantern. Sure, lanterns are a great piece to have all year round, but at Christmas, lanterns are just beautiful.

With the colder weather and shorter days, lighting a candle in a lantern is almost magical. It makes a room look inviting and romantic. Putting lanterns outside can light up the porch and make any guest feel welcome.

I have rounded up some of my favorite DIY lanterns just for you.
