When it is dark and this lantern is lit up, it is difficult to recognise it in its former life as a toilet roll!
Transform your toilet rolls into charming lanterns in a matter of minutes.
All you will need is a drawing pin or thumb tack, toilet rolls, and LED tealights.
Using the thumb tack to pierce holes over your toilet roll. You might like to do a particular pattern or design, or just random holes.
Put the LED light inside.
Turn the lights off.
If you want to make your lanterns look a little more special, you could cover the toilet rolls with pretty paper first. Let the glue dry thoroughly before poking holes in it.
Alternatively you could cover it in glitter.
I have been trying to think of ways to use toilet rolls, in an effort to be a little more sustainable and reduce wastage. So far I have made dolls house furniture and cradles and beds.
