Wood Lantern Tutorial

 

What Materials Do I Need?

To build these wood lanterns, you'll need pine or "whitewood" boards for the base, in 1x6, 1x8 or 1x10 sizes (depending on the size of lantern you are building).

For the 3/4" x 3/4" pieces, you can buy 3/4" square dowels online or at most home improvement stores.  If you are building in bulk, it is much less expensive to take a wider width board, like a 1x8 or 1x12, and rip it into 3/4" strips.  Ripping is not easy for this small of a piece, do not attempt without experience using a table saw.

Different Style Bases

This plan include three different style bases, for your personal preference.  Use the cut list that matches your base to build your lantern.
