Tips and Tricks
- Adjust the wooden plate and the length of the branches to fit the size of the jar.
- Shake well before use.
How it is done:
- Cover the work area and lay out all materials. Clean the collected pieces of wood if necessary. They should be clean and dry so that the paint will adhere perfectly. The first step is to paint the driftwood and the wooden board with Marabu Green paint. Leave an area to hold the wood. Allow to dry well.
- When the paint is dry, saw the driftwood to the length of the panel. Saw off the area of the wood that is not painted.
- Stack the driftwood on the square base using hot glue. Allow the hot glue to dry well and place a glass jar for the candle inside the lantern.
