Can you believe that the lantern the same size as mine from Pier 1 goes for $149 on sale?! I’d rather redo mine every holiday! The hot glue will come off easily when it’s time to change the decor up.Īnd that’s how you turn your lantern into a summer lantern! I hope you will work some of these ideas into your lantern this summer. Add a dot on the back of the bows then glue it just below the handle. Glue the rope bow to the satin bow using hot glue. I made a bow out of the rope that is just a little wider than the satin bow. Make a regular bow, but leave tails long enough to reach the top of the glass in front. I used a 1″ satin ribbon in robin’s egg blue. That has kept the handle standing up to show the rope. I added a dot of hot glue where the handle goes into the lantern. Check the picture at the top showing the supplies. It’s thicker than twine, but not a thick rope type. I got the rope from Michael’s in a grab bag special. To add a little nautical splash, I wound a thin rope around it like you would an anchor. My lantern has a circular handle on top of it for carrying purposes. Once it looks like you want it, close the summer lantern door. When adding them, turn them so that the best side of the shell will be showing through the glass. After that I began adding the shells to the places where they looked the best. I began spreading the shells thin, with only one layer. Dollar Tree also carries several different types. We live really close to the beach so sand and shells aren’t hard to come by at all.

The final thing I added to my lantern is seashells.
