If you own an old garden lantern which is exposed to wind and weather and looks shabby, we have just the right upcycling idea for you. We show you how you can easily give your old lantern a new shine.

It's that simple:

Carefully remove the existing glass panes. Over time, dirt is bound to build up on the lantern, so remove it from the lantern. Use the Dremel Stylo+ multi-function tool to remove the flaky paint. Then spray the lantern with edding permanent spray. Put a few drops of Alcohol Ink on the glass panes and spread the paint with the bellows.

Then position the stencils on the glass panes and transfer the desired motif with the chalk marker. The panes can now be carefully placed back into the lantern with the designed side facing inwards.

For the lantern hanger, cut three threads of equal length from the cotton cord. Pull the 3 threads about 3 cm long through the key ring and place them on top of the other threads. Knot them together with the wrap knot. Now braid the ribbon to the desired length. Knot the end of the threads in the same way as the beginning. Now you can attach the handle to the lantern with the carabiner. Then equip the lantern with a candle or fairy lights.

Tip: If you do not like the glass panes of your lantern any more, you can clean them with water (in the case of the chalk marker) or with Extender or Alcohol (for the Alcohol Ink paint).
