Make these gorgeous lanterns inspired by the Philippine Christmas lantern tradition. These Christmas star lanterns are super simple to paint at home. These inexpensive lanterns will be the star of your holiday decorations.
The panes of the lanterns are held in by small tabs similar to a picture frame. You can use a small screwdriver to pry up those tabs and remove each pane of glass.
Lay the pieces smooth side down as we will be painting the textured side. Clean the textured side with some rubbing alcohol and allow to dry completely.
Use the Frost Gloss Enamels to paint each piece. Add additional coats as desired, allowing them to dry completely between coats. (You can bake the pieces according to the package directions as well to make sure the paint is permanently on the glass.)
Use your screwdriver to insert the pieces back into the lantern and secure with the small tabs. Add your tea light to the inside of your completed Christmas star lantern.
