Watch the video below for the full instructions.
Paint the frames and wooden sticks with white chalk paint.
While they are drying, paint all the wooden blocks with chalk paint too.
No need to paint the bottom as you will glue them to the lantern.
Let them dry completely.
Step 2:
Grab the frame and flip it upside down.
Grab the sticks and cut them to the size that perfectly fits the length and width of the frame.
Glue them to the frame to look like its a window pane using hot glue.
Once done, add glue to the corners and place back the glass.
Do the same for the remaining 3 frames.
Step 6:
Take the copper fitting and rope.
Feed the rope through the copper fitting.
Put a little bit of hot glue so it will hold.
Glue the copper fitting on top of the stacked blocks.
Do not glue the top so you might still remove the top and put different things inside.
you’ve got the option to also use a door hinge if you prefer.
