Description

Create a stunning pressed flower lantern using simple supplies for a beautiful display.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 glass jar
  • 710 pressed flowers
  • 1 votive candle or tea light candle
  • Mod Podge Multi
  • ribbon or twine (optional)

Instructions

  1. If using an old food jar, remove labels and wash thoroughly. Use Goo Gone to remove glue residue.
  2. Using a paintbrush, add a thin layer of Mod Podge to the jar.
  3. Place a flower onto the jar and gently press it in place. Continue adding Mod Podge and flowers until the design is complete.
  4. Add another layer of Mod Podge around the jar covering both the flowers and any open areas. Wait for the jar to dry for 2 hours before applying additional coats.
  5. Allow the jar to dry for about 20 minutes before handling. Wait 2 hours before applying additional coats if desired.
  6. For embellishment, wrap ribbon or jute twine around the rim of the jar and tie a bow.
  7. Place a small candle inside your glass jar and enjoy the warm glow of your pressed flower lantern.

Notes

  • Ensure flowers are fully pressed before using.
  • Experiment with different flowers for unique designs.
  • Check the dryness of each coat before applying additional layers.
