🌼 Spring magic for your home: DIY flower lantern with pressed flowers 🌸
Share
Spring is finally here! 🌟 Time to leave the dark winter months behind and bring a magical atmosphere into your home with fresh colors and soft candlelight 🌟. Today we'll show you how to conjure up a beautiful DIY flower lantern with pressed flowers using just a few materials . Perfect for the living room table, windowsill or as a small gift! 🌟
🌿 This is what you need:
-
An empty mason jar or lantern 🏷️
-
Dried & pressed flowers (e.g. daisies, violets, tulip petals) 🌼🌺
-
Transparent craft glue (e.g. Mod Podge) or napkin glue 🖌️
-
A soft brush 🖌️
-
(Optional) Ribbon or jute twine for decoration 🎨
🌟 Here's how:
-
Prepare flowers – If you don't have any ready-made pressed flowers, you can place fresh flowers between book pages and press them with heavy books. After about a week, they will be dry and ready to use. 🌸
-
Clean the glass – Make sure your lantern is clean and free of grease so that the glue sticks well. 🪟
-
Glue flowers on - Apply a thin layer of glue to the glass and carefully place the pressed flowers on top. Then apply another layer of glue to seal the flowers. 🖌️
-
Let it dry – Let the glass dry for a few hours until the glue becomes transparent. 💧
-
Decorate – If desired, you can decorate the lantern with a bow made of jute twine or satin ribbon. 🎨
-
Insert a candle & enjoy – Place an LED candle or a tea light inside and admire the atmospheric light! 🌟

This DIY project is not only a great eye-catcher for your home, but also a lovely gift idea for friends and family. The warm candlelight highlights the natural beauty of the flowers and creates a cozy spring atmosphere. 😍
