Lanterns are being seen all over the decorating blogs, magazines and Pinterest. There’s a good reason – lanterns are super versatile and easy to decorate with. You can add almost anything to them. If you’re having trouble visualizing how you will use that empty lantern in your home, we have some ideas for you.
Lanterns can be used to simply hold a light or they can be the showcase for every seasonal decor change in your home. Here are 25 things you can use to decorate a lantern. We gathered these images from our own archives and from our Lanterns Pinterest board. Many of these can be combined. Try number 1 with number 5 and number 18. Or number 3 with number 4 and number 11. Have fun! Most of these items, including a quality selection of lanterns, can be found at your local Craft Warehouse store.
