Prince Charming and I had to make a run to +The Home Depot, +Jo-Ann Fabrics and, Michaels Stores. I will include a list below of what I purchased. While we were out shopping we spotted a much smaller lantern at a cost of $39.99. Here is where we insert me dancing!!!!! My lantern from +Goodwill which is over 2-foot tall cost $4.99. I know! Can you believe the deal? I can hear the aaaahhhhhs!
Opps! The glass broke but, on the positive side, it made the painting and styling much easier. I was able to buy replacement glass in the custom framing area at +Michaels Stores.
Even this sweet white tea light did not escape my golden paintbrush. I just love the soft glow.
I write posts on Hometalk too. Here is a link to Spring Lantern. While you are there check out several more projects I have written about. It is a great place to be inspired, educated and ask questions about your home.
Connecting with you is fun for both of us. Please follow me on the Social Media below.

Such a great spring decoration! Love it!
Karen, You nailed it with a Spring feel in your lantern. Thanks for the project list. I can't wait to create my own, too.
See you soon!
This turned out beautifully! I love the succulent in it!
Oh this is charming! Love all the little details- never would have thought to paint a candle gold!
Visiting from the Spring blog hop :)
Hi Karen - Love this! Visiting as a fellow contributor to #DIYMySpring. Hope your week is full of sunshine! Hugs, Holly
Now this was a treasure to find! I love your update and the special touches you added. It really looks lovely and delightful. Thank for the inspiration because it really is a wonderful DIY Karen!
What a great deal you got on that lantern, I love finding treasures like that at the thrift store! Love the Spring vignette you created :)
How wonderful! I have to do this. I am always just putting plain old candles in my lanterns, but this is more like a cloche or terrarium. I love yours!!
Very pretty!!! I'm always on the hunt for a lantern like this at the Goodwill, but haven't found one yet!! Now I know what to do with one!
This is a very pretty arrangement inside your lovely lantern. And very original as well. All ready for Spring.
I don't know how I missed your pretty lantern Karen but better late than never, I'm seeing it now. Can't beat that price - I'd have been doing the happy dance too. I love the way you styled yours for Spring - more like a terrarium. Very pretty! P.S. How lucky to be living right on a lake.
