Jars with candles – simple but stylish
To make lanterns you will need jars, preferably in different sizes and dimensions to create a unique atmosphere, and candles. If you want to have a hanging lantern then you also need some string to tie the jars together and hang them anywhere. It is worth keeping the tops. After drilling holes in them with a drill or screwdriver they will protect the candle, especially on windy days, from going out.
