HOW TO MAKE DOLLAR TREE LANTERNS 

Dollar Tree either needs to start stocking their stores better and keep them stocked, or allow all items online to be ordered in less than case quantities.

Putting the sparkly trim on them is why you're teaching the rest of us. Never would have thought of it but it just finishes it perfectly.

I have been asked to make some centerpieces for a rehearsal dinner in November. I'm thinking these would be perfect. Ty again for your great ideas

Christmas puts me in such a beautiful nostalgic mood. It feels really nice to see a Christmas video in March.

I just came across your video...and WOW. LOVE THESE! I would be tickled to receive one of these lanterns as they are homemade and from the heart. Great job!

Wow these are actually really easy to make. You could even paint them in different colors if you wanted. Love this video! ❤️❤️

I have only found 2 sugar bowls in the past 3 years. I shop at several different stores. I made 2 lamps using dollar tree glass candle sticks. Love your version.

WOW!!!! AWARD WINNER!!!! So glad I found you, GREAT JOB!!! TRULY A GREAT TUTORIAL! THHANK YOU!!!

These are super fabulous. What a beautiful craft. Thank you.

Thank you so very much for your tutorial. I enjoyed every minute! They really look spectacular and I AM doing this project. God bless you!❤

❤ LOVE THE LANTERNS SO MUCH CAN BE PUT INSIDE THEM TOO. LET IMAGINATION FLOW LOVE THEM THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR BEAUTIFUL IDEAS ❤❤❤❤

Those lanterns are adorable!

these are gorgeous... I am so glad I ran across you and this tutorial... I love it so much that I emailed it to myself...

I made mine with the glass candy bow. It was fun and simple to make and so cute afterwards.

I'm Brazilian and I was looking for Christmas decoration videos, so RU-vid suggested your channel to me and I liked it. I'll sign up. 😊

Who in the world would think of using sugar bowls to make a lights for the holiday season. They are so beautiful thanks for the ideal I sure will remake these. God bless you .and have a blessed 🙌 😇 day my crafty home

They are so beautiful I love them all thank you so much for sharing

They're beautiful, I love the lantern's...what wonderful gifts for any season

They’re GORGEOUS‼️🤩💜💜💜 Great job Amie‼️👍💛😊 Thank you SO very much for sharing how you created these with us❣️💜💜💜

I love the lanterns. Thank you for the tip and sharing your talents. God bless you and your family

Seeing this late but adorable. I’ll be watching out for these items, hope they have them again because I will be making some of these lanterns!

These are SOOO cute! great tutorial, very lovely creations 🎄

8:25 Voilà indeed! I had no idea how the pieces were going to fit together until just then! Brava, sis! Ingenious! 👩🏻‍🔬💡👏🙏

I'm 68 yrs old and a loooong time crafter. Let me give you a little bit of knowledge about using glue guns, YES they are indeed HOT, at least mine is 😮. Before starting your project put a bowl/glass full of ice and water on your work station. If you get burned the whole idea is to stop the hot glue on the skin from burning worse than it is. After cooling down the glue then treat the burn as you normally would. Thank you for sharing your video. I can't wait to make this lantern. Be Blessed, Safe and Healthy Grandma from Florida 🇺🇸 PS: pray before you start the project 🙏 😊 14:56 EST

I'm new to your amazing channel Thank you for your step by step easy directions They are all beautiful!!! You have such a great gift to be able to do all this for us ❤

Love, love, love these!!! You did a lovely job with them!!!

These are lovely! ❤ They look so high-end. Also, I cracked up when you basically said "Everyone will be getting a Lantern, this year"😂 (due to the bulk quantity you had to purchase).

Omg! What a fantastic idea! I love Christmas lanterns but they can be pricey...Thank you so much 😊...off to the dollar tree!

Beautifully crafted!

I know I'm late on this video but I was just looking up cute lantern ideas and your video popped up. I'm so glad it did because these are absolutely stunning. I will definitely be making these lanterns. Thank you for sharing. (Side note: I really hate writing in the comments of a crafter's video that I can't find certain items at my Dollar Trees and without fail, the number one thing I always get told is to just buy them online or off of their website. But the only problem with that is, like she said in her video, they come in bulk. You can't just buy one or a few of something. You have to buy a box of them. I even tried ordering a lot of stuff but nope, they still wouldn't ship it out unless I bought boxes of said items. It's just such a pain when I want to craft something that my Dollar Trees don't have the items for so I have to order them online. I wish they would change their website so that as long as you buy enough to put in a box or enough items (money wise I mean) that you can still get it shipped to you.) I mean, I appreciate the advice but telling me to just buy it online is such a waste of money to me because I don't need a crate full of something that I only really need like one or two of.

Very Pretty, I really like the way you decorated the lamps, and put them together. Thank you for sharing.

Just came across this video and it blew my mind. So pretty!!! Never thought of that!! Excellent!! Thanks

So beautiful! I hope to make some this year.

You did such a good job, very beautiful. Hopefully I can find these items.

I agree with you. Our dollar tre is sad. And I have talked to the manager several times and her standard response is “ what do you want me to do about it?”

I love these mini lanterns I make them each year for church fundraising.

I've made a couple of these and I love them. I used velcro for my bow supper easy to change out if you want

I love that you use super affordable supplies. 😊❤ I'd love to try these.

This is the first time I’ve seen your video. I’m going to go back and check it to see if I can watch other ones, but I must say first, you have the most pleasant voice to listen to!❣️ Second, you had a very professional video that was easy to understand; excellent camera coverage so that everything was shown up close and further away, so that you got the full affect of what you were doing and also I loved that you included not only the frustration of trying to find everything, but covering the cost to purchase initially and also how you ended up with more than you expected but you were able to utilize it so that you could make Gary an expensive but beautiful guess poor people… Teachers friends, family… The list is long. I was wondering, initially, why you were painting the lanterns black. But I must say, they look stunning in your kitchen. I happen to be in Michaels yesterday, and I was looking at lanterns in different sizes. I was checking out to see what was on sale, and what wasn’t throughout the store as I am an artist, but I also am in interior designer. When I saw it about it, they had white lanterns, Black, Silver, gold, and brass.… They also had a combination of those colors… end it was pretty much the same wherever you went. With the exception of the black. Michaels was the only place I saw Black. Another way you can save money if you have a time and skill, is to make your own ribbons. Try to buy ribbons after Christmas because you can buy bulk rolls at Sam’s and Costco that are absolutely beautiful and they have water in them and I bought some my rolls five and six years ago and I haven’t even begun to use 1/4 of the ribbon, because you get hundreds and hundreds of yards of ribbon. Another good place to find ribbon. You don’t expect to find it or places like Lowe’s, Tiesens in HOME DEPOT and they will have very good sales if you watch for them but especially the week after Christmas. My next step is, if you don’t think you’re really good at making bows, they have all of these little stand and tools to wrap ribbon around 12345 loops however, many you want and then you use a zip tie and 1-2-3 & it’s done! Some people use skinny 1/4” or 1/8” satin ribbon to tie the bigger ribbon together in the center. If that something you have on hand, then by all means, you can use that if you don’t have zip ties. Speaking of tips, I love that you put those six tips at the end of your video. I wish more people did that. we all learn from every time we start a new project. I may be an artist and I may be an interior designer but there’s so much we can learn when we are trying something new or working with others. It’s especially fun when you do some thing like what you did with one or more people because as my grandmother said, the more we share the more we learn, and if we are willing, every day, we should learn something new.… And nobody can know everything. I’ve been painting for 40+ years or more… Didn’t do my math very well but with RU-vid, I am finding show many products and techniques are out there that I was never exposed to because I came from a very large family of 14 and first, finances limited me to what my art sources could be, and secondly there definitely was not money for lessons… I really didn’t need them. I was blessed to be gifted… Please realize even gifted people have to learn techniques. Anyway, I would give your video a top score if I knew what score people would have for a range if it’s 10 out of 10 or 100 out of 100 you would definitely get those top scores for an excellent video and I can’t wait to see your next video. I happen to see a comment, before I opened up my comment, and that was about dollar tree needing to step up their stock and also being able to order supplies online… Which I didn’t even know was possible until I listen to your video.! However, I definitely have the luxury of two dollar trees in my town and another one 20 miles away approximately, so I was assume that I can find what I’m after. But in the last couple of months, with the holidays around the corner through a people who literally buy all that’s in the store, and I think that the stores need to have a limit when they know particularly crafters or people that are doing RU-vid’s are going to buy them all and I’m not judging you at all for that because you actually went online and ordered yours and ended up spending a lot more than you intended. but there’s a lady where I live who found these beautiful mesh wire pumpkins about 5 inches across and maybe three or 4 inches tall they’re just adorable and they came in about four or five colors. She bought everyone of them so nobody else could get them, and she could just put them in groupings all over her place, and she literally told me that she went to all the stores in the area and bought them all up. I don’t understand that kind of selfishness and greed. As I stated earlier, I grew up in a large family, and it taught us to be loving, kind, compassion, and definitely to share. If my mother caught us being selfish next thing, you know you weren’t getting dessert for supper or you would be outside pulling weeds. She taught us values and she made sure we practice them… She wasn’t military, but she did run a tight ship for cleanliness in her home, kindness to one another, and I swear she did have eyes in the back of her head because you didn’t get away with anything!! Definitely looking forward to your next videos and thank you for being so professional and easy to understand, a lovely voice to listen to and an enjoyable video that was inspirational at the very least❣️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Holy Shmokes, I thought it was a real candle!!! Those are FABULOUS!!!❤❤❤❤

Love your lanterns . They are so cute . I will make some .

These Are So Adorable I Love Them And Very Easy To Make Be Great Gifts Such A Great Idea Thank You God Bless. 😊

WOW ! So elegant looking ! 🎉❤🎉

Just adorable lanterns. Hope my dollar store carries them. I want to make a red one and fill it with peppermint candies for a neighbor.

These would be great for any time of the year Great idea and simple enough even I could make these Thank you

Lol the glass wine glasses you got at the good will are the same ones I have...🤣 I can't believe you had to buy so many, good thing they're only $1. And that is the most adorable lantern! I love it!

Lanterns--I love the light that is moving. The white bow and interchanging lamp deco are brilliant.

My Granddaughter’s will love this project! Thanks for sharing

Love your lanterns!!!

Just seeing this video and your channel for the first time now. Such beautiful lanterns. I just subscribed, looking forward to watching your videos.

Those are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!

The lanterns are adorable! Great job!

This is so cute! I’ll definitely make one.

So I can’t believe I just found your channel but I’m here now and subscribed and notifications are on haha. So I’m in love with your approach at the Christmas lantern! Immediately I went to the dollar tree website but I couldn’t find that bowl! Now it’s a quest lol. I typed in sugar bowl with lid, clear bowl with lid and I think I’ve now seen every bowl the DT has. Am I doing something wrong lol?

I am blown away by this… and it takes a lot to impress me for as long as I’ve been in the crafting game!

I absolutely LOVE these lanterns!!

I made these lanterns for Christmas but used stair spindles for the base ( they sit 3 ft high) and put them in my hallway. I wanted to make 2 for spring/summer but now I can't find the sugar bowls anywhere. Yours are adorable and if I can find the bowls again, I will make your version also.

I have been looking for these at my DT I was told at first they were candy dishes, but glad to hear you said sugar bowls But they still don't have them I also just tried to look online but found nothing Any tips on finding them? Thanks for your video!

Those lanterns are so pretty. For Christmas, I would prefer the white one to have a red bow on it and a lighter one on it for off season.

I like the look of them all around your house. When you put the first top on, I thought SNOWMAN! Put some stickers on the front and fill with fake snow. Then I jumped to PUMPKIN!! Paint it orange. I like it when your creativity sparks mine.

I can't find the sugar bowels either . I've been looking for over a year & can't find them nowhere . How & where did you find your sugar bowls ?

They looks beautiful thanks for sharing ❤❤

Those are absolutely gorgeous and so easy!

They are way too cute. I would like to make them with the big pole. Thanks for sharing.

I love the lantern, I'm giving them out for the Holidays.

Those are so pretty. Maybe I missed this, but You might want to put weight on the bottom or spike them in the ground so they won't tip over if using outside. Such a great idea!

Your lanterns look absolutely beautiful, what a beautiful idea!
