DIY lantern/night light made from paper plates
You voted on Instagram and the most requested motif was the squirrel 😉 So today my new squirrel lantern was finished and I’m excited to see how you like it 😉 The special extra is that the walnut is in the squirrel’s paws glows in the dark like a little treasure. Instead of a lantern stick, I once again used a simple branch, which fits perfectly with the forest animal theme and looks beautifully natural. There is another ready-made print template for you in two different plate sizes, which you can find in the material list.
