i make lanterns like this, get a tin can 9from soup or sliced tomatoes etc) and put water in it and freeze it. then take it outsde, on pavement of asphalt and take a hammer and nail and hit the hammer into the nail and make pucntures and a design. then run it under hot water so the ice slides out, out in a tealight and add a wire to the top in two of the holes you made, and you have a lantern!

bummer, her web page is not longer there, she closed shop because her other projects were getting busy.

I'm trying to do this... but where would you purchase the rings?! I've tried Home Depot, Lowe's, Michael's & Jo-Ann's, but no luck!

"Your nest needs you." That's the best motto I've heard in years.

I would use E6000 glue, other than that I like this project very much.
