Love the look of wood lanterns at Christmastime (or anytime), but don't want to shell out a ton of money?
Here's a really simple approach to building them yourself!
1
Start by building two squares for the top and bottom of your lantern.
2
Add your taller pieces to the four corners (my lanterns are 18", 12" and 8" tall!)
3
Add a square base to the bottom of the lantern, and you're done!
