Can I use fresh flowers instead of dried ones?

Fresh flowers won’t hold well in a lantern since they wilt, so dried flowers are recommended for longevity.

How long will the Mod Podge take to dry?

Typically, it will take around 20-30 minutes to touch dry, but for the best results, allow it to dry for several hours or overnight.

While the crafting process is safe, adult supervision is advised around sharp or breakable objects and when using glue.

Dried flowers can be purchased at craft stores, online retailers, or even made at home by drying fresh flowers.

Create an enchanting DIY dried flower lantern using simple materials like a mason jar and fairy lights. Perfect for home decor and family crafting!

Begin by brushing Mod Podge onto the outside of the mason jar.
Take your dried flowers and gently press them onto the surface of the jar.
Once you’re happy with your design, seal it with another light coat of Mod Podge and allow it to dry completely.
Finally, add the fairy lights inside the jar and turn them on to enjoy a warm glow.

Use colored Mod Podge and seasonal flowers for variations. Ensure adequate drying time for the Mod Podge.
