To make this partiotic lantern, you will need
  • Mason jar
  • Tissue paper
  • Ribbon
  • Battery operated candle
Instructions:
  1. Cut the tissue paper to the shape of the mason jar.
  2. Line the inside of the jar with the tissue paper. Use tape, if needed, to hold the paper in place.
  3. Place the flameless candle inside.
  4. Tie decorative ribbon around the neck of the jar.
You could also use paint to cover the jar with a translucent layer of color and place glow sticks instead of the battery operated candle inside of the jar.
