A Great Way To Get Rid Of Scrap Wood ~ DIY Rustic Wood Lanterns
I don't know about you, but I have tons of scrap wood and this little project was a great way to use some of it up! We made rustic wood lanterns for our mantel.
They turned out so nice, we decided to make a few more as presents for Christmas.
Hubby was a miter/table saw maniac! He cut all this up in one afternoon!
We glued, clamped, and nailed the frame together. Then attached it to the base. A nail gun made quick work of this project.
These are the lantern top pieces we assembled together.
We attached the top, gave them a coat of paint, and installed a hook on the top. They were so adorable with the red bows!
These are the ones on our mantel. We just love the way they came out! I might even make some larger ones for the porch this summer.
Stop on by The Stonybrook House, for all the measurements and details.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
What size wood did you use for the thicker top piece. The one that is angled
How did you cut the angle of the top piece I’m a little confused ??
Lanterns are one of my favorite collections ever! The bigger the better!! I absolutely love this and can’t wait to make my own. I’m assuming these are open lanterns? No worries I was just wondering as they are my favorite lantern shape. What a beautiful sentiment and metaphor about Jesus and how He loves us!! I’m excited to try this project!! Did you use a brad nailer? Thanks for sharing your project it’s so beautiful!
