Make your own DIY Christmas lanterns

Step 1
Clean and dry your three glass jars. Cut out shapes using paper and scissors to use as a stencil. Fleur made a Christmas tree, heart and a star.

Step 2
Use loops of sticky tape or double sided tape to stick the shapes on to the front of the jars. Try to position your shapes quite low down so that the flame from the short tea light candles can be seen through the glass. Paint your jars in your chosen Resene colours but be careful not to push paint under your paper shape. Fleur used Resene Paprika, Resene Saratoga and Resene Bullion. When using a Resene FX Metallic, apply the recommended basecoat colour first for the most stand out metallic colour effect.

Step 3
Once the paint has dried, carefully remove the paper shape and place a tealight candle in the bottom of the jar and let there be light.
