Turn a lantern into a Centerpiece

There is no rule that a flower arrangement

must be the main focus of your tablescape…

Try mixing things up with something unexpected!

Have some Hot Pink Fun in the Summertime!

This is one of my favorite lanterns

It’s very simple and lends itself to just about anything

Here it is full of different textured balls

You can pair it with a seasonal touch~

Falling at the Beach

Now some of the textured balls have been swapped out

with glass balls wrapped in twine {fish floats]

and starfish ornaments

If you look closely you will see a flamingo

and a mermaid

Here Comes Summer

Add a string of battery operated mini lights

for a little night time sparkle

This time it is filled with various glass pieces,

blue & green bottles, balls and a jar

A Sparkling Sea of Tranquility

Here is a slightly different lantern dedicated to fishing

Fishing for Father’s Day

Now it’s full of carrots for Spring and Easter

Crazy for Carrots

And lanterns are perfect for any holiday decor

Mardi Gras on the Coast

St. Patrick’s Day Lucky Lantern

Valentine’s Day Love Lantern

Winter Aqua Ice

If you don’t have a lantern, you can use a large glass vase

    I love how you took one simple piece and made it into so many lovely table decorations. The two different kinds of light are lovely additions, and the Mardi Gras one is a standout.

  4. This is timely. I brought my red lantern to the lake for holiday decorating! Now I have more ideas than I can handle!

  5. Such a great idea!

    Oh, these are just great Jenna! So many wonderful ideas and I can’t possibly pick a favorite. The fishing one is really different and unique and the fall one is so pretty. I must just have to borrow some of your wonderful ideas. Thanks and have a great week!

  7. Jenna, you are so very talented and creative – love the ideas you generate!

    What a delightful post about the colorful rose! 🌹 I absolutely love how you captured the essence of creativity and color in your art. Your approach to using vibrant hues not only breathes life into each piece but also encourages others to express their own individuality through painting.

    I wonder what it might look like if you explored different textures alongside those bold colors? That could add another layer of depth to your already stunning creations! Thank you for sharing such inspiring content; it truly ignites a passion for artistic exploration in all of us! Keep up the fantastic geometry dash work! 🎨✨
