Supplies (for two posts)
4 coffee canisters
2 animal cracker canisters
2 oatmeal canisters
2 clear plastic soda bottles.
Paint (Black, Brown, Yellow)
Painter's tape
2 Battery powered candles (tea lights or LEDs would work too)
Paper mache stuff
Tin foil rolled into 2 small balls
1. Stack up your canisters and tape them together
2. I used paper mache paste mixed with black on newspaper strips paint to smooth out the imperfections (like logo imprints and tapelines) and the parts where the canisters connect.
3. Cut off the tops of your clear plastic bottles and cut out window patterns out. Tape to top canister.
4. Use tape to form the top of the lantern part and tape the tin foil balls to the top too. Smooth out all the tapelines out with paper mache.
