paste some rhinestones in design.

For making its shape, you will use double sided tape & carefully make a round lantern.

Before it was this plain henna designed paper sheet..

Once I made a gel candle in glass, if you will notice minutely, you can see a bride & groom in the candle..& a heart too. I put this ceramic couple in glass & then pour some gel & glitter with a heart shape bead.

place the paper lantern over the gel glass candle.do not place around any other candle, because its paper & the flame may cause anything wrong..so be careful plz.

Here are a few more Paper Lanterns from my archives.

Have a nice day!
