Our series of gingerbread houses and winter towns is joined by lanterns 🕯🕯🕯. The winter town jar lantern is easy to make and gives an amazing effect. I definitely recommend trying this winter craft on your own🤩.

How to make a winter town lantern
🤍 The most important step is to draw the houses that make up the winter town on the jar. It’s best if they have different heights and shapes. Additionally, you can go wild with decorative details. Finally, it’s worth dotting the falling snow. You can take some inspirations from our winter town card.
🤍 The next, optional step is to decorate the base of the lantern with artificial snow. It’s very simple, first you have to put glue on the jar and then dip it in artificial snow.

Nothing gives more satisfaction than doing something yourself. I haven’t even thought about DIY as my hobby, I’ve just done different “projects” when it was needed. Sometimes it’s a disguise for the Masquerade Party in kindergarten. Another time, cutting out the pumpkin and baking the witch’s fingers for Haloween. Or simply organizing holiday souvenirs. Now I decided to share my realizations with you. Let’s go it together!
