I was at my mommies night out Saturday night and they had these beautiful lanterns outside their walkway at the house. I asked how they were made and thank you Luke and Caroline for such an amazing idea! DIY your own ice lanterns! Per Luke's instructions:
- Get a cylinder type container preferably a stronger plastic then I used (my pitcher cracked first use) and fill with water
- Leave it outside for I say about 6-7 hours depending on how cold it is (it was between 3-0 degrees out last night).
- Once frozen thick enough (about two to three inches) take inside, loose it up with warm water to let the pitcher go, and flip it over.
- There is a nice thin layer at the top you need to crack open to let the rest of the water out. And there you have it, your ice vase!
- That easy!!! I used a kitchen towel to carry it back to the deck and dropped a tea light in there and the tea light last the whole time outside in the cold for three hours! Thank you again Luke!!!
