During the Christmas holiday I thought why not make some inexpensive DIY decorations.  I have these 2 medium size lanterns that I love. 

I didn’t really want to put just a candle in there and call it a day.  There has to be  something else I can put in there.  Lanterns are like display case if you think about it. So lets display something inside it.

“A Winter Wonderland theme!”

I purchased from Michaels Arts and Craft store (I Looove that Store).

I picked up some village scene pieces and also red & green house ornaments ( Yes, those houses are ornaments)  that I thought was adorable.

I cut the bottom of the houses open and put a battery operated light inside it so the house would light up.  I need SNOW for my “Winter Wonderland”.  For a .49 cents a piece white felt with glitte in it looked a lot like snow so I used that on the bottom.

Put it all together and that’s it.  It’s so easy and quick to make.  Now you have your own village scene. You can do something different in these lanterns for every holiday.
