Our Japanese Maple is in full regalia, and fanning her gorgeous feathers for Spring. Around her are
bright pink Azaleas, and various mid to late spring flowers beginning to push through to the surface.
I was cleaning out a few bins of trim & craft supplies recently and came across a yard or so of a couple
different types of lace. Like most craft supply hoarders, I cannot remember why or where I found them,
and since they are flat and wide, I’m not sure where I would use them.
I began looking at my jars and decided to experiment with a little Mod Podge and lace around a few different
sized jars headed for recycling.
Here is what I used to make these oh so pretty lanterns for my front yard:
- Variety of clean, dry jars
- Flat lace with no stretch to it
- Mod Podge & a small foam brush
- Thin crafting wire & needle nosed pliers
- Waxed paper
I usually use my battery operated votive candles since I have curious little ones. They look so pretty
in the tree during the day, I can’t wait to see what they look like when they are glowing in the evening!

These are so pretty, Tanya! A great idea for that giant pile of lace trim that *may* be in my fabric bin 🙂
We are still struggling to get (and keep) some nice spring weather here. Many of the trees don’t even have leaves yet.
Praying an extra blessing over you and your family this Easter.

Wow, Tanya, those are fabulous! They look great in the daytime and they will probably look even prettier at night with the light shining through the lace. Thanks for sharing that idea and tutorial. I am pinning it. I saw your post over at the “Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom” link party.
These are really pretty! I have the perfect tree for them right off our deck! Might have to give them a try for a summer party!
These lanterns are lovely. What a great idea. Thank you for the step-by-step directions.

What i don’t understood is if truth be told how you are no longer really a lot more neatly-preferred than you
may be right now. You’re so intelligent. You realize therefore significantly in the case of this matter, made me in my
view consider it from a lot of varied angles.
Its like women and men don’t seem to be fascinated except it
is something to do with Woman gaga! Your own stuffs outstanding.
All the time care for it up!
Keep on writing, great job!
