Christmas may be over, but I feel as though the Christmas Tree Lantern could be enjoyed year-round, despite its name and original purpose. A do-it-yourself project, it is easy, simple and a beautiful craft to undertake.
Created by Hugon Kowalski, all the Christmas Tree Lantern requires is a lamp, natural fabric that easily absorbs water, clothes pegs and a big PVC tube. After following the directions found in the gallery above, you wet the fabric and gravity naturally makes it take the shape of a tree.
