You girls who figure this stuff out amaze me. Are you all engineers? I used to think you were all just very right brain dominate and thus more creative then the rest of us. Now I think you are frustrated engineers. You look at this complicated object, then take it apart in your mind, then you figure out how to replicate it using what you have on hand or can easily obtain. I salute you! This was pretty amazing. You made it using tools most women have and can use. Great project. You even inspired me unknowingly bu sitting your glue sticks close at hand. I have never thought about putting my glue sticks in a pencil holder, or cup. That’s a project I can do today. Thank you for sharing your amazing creativity with me.
Haha Shirley! I love your comments! I don't know about being an engineer but I think my brain definitely works differently. I don't know if that is always good or not though. I'm glad you liked my glue gun holder. It is nice to have the glue sticks close at hand. Thanks for watching and have a blessed day!
You are so smart! I love to watch videos where people buy things at the Dollar Store and take them apart and make something totally different out of the items they purchased. I was amazed at how you took picture frames apart and used them as glass for the lamp post. It would cost more money to have the glass cut to size. But it was fun watching. I like white lamp posts and then the ribbons can be changed-out for the seasons and the lamp post can stay out all year. I was holding my breath when you were drilling. It looked like your hand was too close to the drill. You should have protective gloves on when drilling. Thank you for showing your talents.
This turned out beautiful! I am blown away that this was created with dollar tree products!!
Thanks Callie!
I love this. Thinking that a string or two of the battery operated lights from dollar tree in the garland around the pole would be really pretty too.
I agree Donna! I added the lights to the post on the mailbox project that I did and I love it.
I too love your imagination and creativity for crafting. The lantern is amazing. Will be making one myself.
This is exactly what I was looking for, but didn’t want to spend top dollar for. Thank you for the fantastic diy lantern.
You're so welcome!!
I like this project and really like the first candle that you show using. It is reminiscent of the old lamplights that were used as street lights. They actually still have some, for decorative purposes, on the main street in the town where I live. So nostalgic! 👍🏻🎄😊
My fav lantern DIY I've seen... and I LOVE you're glue gun station
Thanks Amy! 😀
I've looked at a lot of Christmas lantern diy videos and this is the first one I've seen that makes it a lamp post instead of a tabletop one. I love it!
This is a fabulous Christmas lantern , well done Chantal
The post is just adorable.
Thanks!! ❤️
FANTASTIC. I haven't seen anyone else do this! Thanks. I'm for surely doing this. I'm going to use plywood though cuz that's what's available in my garage. Thanks again!
I'm glad you like it! Yes, if you have the wood and tools, I would definitely use them.
This is definitely a time when I wish there was a love button!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!!!💟💕💟
Aww, thanks Kelly! ❤️
I love, love, love that lamp post!!!
I made one of these last year and it is awesome I keep it out all year and I decorate it threw out the year . Yours looks awesome.
Your lamp post is gorgeous . I always wanted one but it's to expensive . Now I'm going to make one . Thank you Rose-Marie in Canada
Thank you. I'm so glad I could help. I would love for you to post a pic on my Facebook page when you get it done.
Super cute! I love a good lamppost!! TFS!!!
Tenuous idea and very pretty. I'm gonna have to try this and give it to my mother for her porch
If her porch is not glassed-in for the winter, the cardboard roof of the lamp post will be ruined by the weather.
I love this project! Very cute and different! You dont see many people making this sort of thing!
I've been wanting a lamp post.I priced one yesterday and it was$50.00.Im fixing to go get my frames now.Thank u so much.God Bless.
I absolutely love this. Will be doing this soon. Your an amazing crafter. And thank you for sharing your thoughts and ideas. Keep crafting. (PLEASE) YOU MAKE ALOT OF PEOPLE SMILE.
Aww, thank you so much! You are so sweet! I will definitely keep crafting - It makes me smile too! 😊
I made my own lamp post. It looks similar but mine is all from scratch. I used foam board and cut out my pieces for the lantern part. And my embellishments were added without glue so it can be used for any holiday. I should send you a pic. It's adorable.
What a wonderful, creative idea. Love it
I'm really impressed with your creativity! That little bird on top is such a great embellishment. Thanks for sharing this with us!
Love this idea. Exactly what I need for my decorations. As far as the pole, a Dollar Tree sponge mop will work perfectly. The handle screws out. I used one for my Halloween pumpkin stand. It's metal so real solid.
Thanks Tish. That's great to know.
I am just seeing this and I'm so happy I did. I love this, it looks like a real lantern. You did an amazing job. Thank you for sharing!!
I've watched several videos sharing how to make these. I want one but I'm not paying the $199 for one at Hobby Lobby. This is the best video I've seen for making one. I think I now want two. Thank you so much for sharing.
Love this one too....how cute. You are very creative.
Oh Chantel you are incredibly talented and precise!! I just loved this Christmas creation. What I especially liked is that you kept it tastefully simple. You must be familiar with the phrase "less is more." So many people get carried away and keep adding embellishment after embellishment that well ....... Anyway, I am looking forward to more of your DIY videos. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it.
Lovin' Life's Journey w/ Chantel talk about over the top! Have you guys seen Olivia’Romantic home she always takes her creation a few more bling steps but she is good at what she does!i just love her!
Lovin' Life's Journey w/ Chantel love you too don’t want to leave you out!
Hint. I have done this with other projects. Drill hole all the way through in one board. Place dowel in that hole. Then attach smaller board to larger board. Then drill a hole underneath the larger board through the dowel n add a flat screw. This way the pole will be secure. Love this project!
Thanks for the tips.
I like this a lot and can be reused for different Holidays just by changing the embellishments
What a wonderful ideal! I know what I'm making this weekend/next week! Thank you very much for sharing!
Also, I am so happy that I came upon your channel. Anxious to see other projects you've posted! I subscribed; anxious to see what you create next! Thank you again! God Bless You!
very beautiful!!! love how it came out , and you gave great directions with the pattern n sizes ...ty for sharing your talents n time with us !!!
Thanks Karina! I'm glad you like it!
I really like this. I have an idea for the back. Those frames tend to be the same on the back as the front. You could secure it where the metal tabs will face the outside and put a dollar tree mirror facing the inside of the lamp. Keeping it in place with the tabs from the outside. That way you could remove the mirror to change the scenery inside. You could also use screws if using a dowel to give it extra stability. Great tutorial!
Thanks Karen! I like your ideas too!
Love your lamp post! Such a cute idea🎄💜🎄
I love the lantern. Love love love it .
So beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful !!!!
It turned out super cute ,great job.
I love this. I always love the way lanterns look, so I’m going to be doing this.
Just randomly can across this video. And I can’t wait it try this. New subscriber.
Awesome! Thanks for subscribing!
Thank You so much ❤️💕 I wish I could show you mines I made,i didn't finish because I was trying to figure out how to make the pointed top,THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME 😁 AWESOME JOB 🤩
That is beautiful
OMG, I love this DIY..how clever..I was looking at one at Walmart the other day and it was like $40... not. I'm not paying that for one decoration. Just found your channel and I liked and subscribed. Now I'm going to the DT to finish getting what I need for this. I'm probably going to make 2...1 for each side of my entertainment center. Thanks for sharing your talent. You have a blessed day.
Good job! Well done! You explain the directions so well too! Great idea, Thank U!
Hi, I really enjoyed your DIY for this lantern, it’s great 👍 the lamppost is beautiful. I appreciate that you explained everything so well. The top of your lantern is one of the best I’ve seen. Thank you so much for this DIY, as soon as I get a drill I will be attempting this one. I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
Beautiful!! Making it this week ..
Gorgeous love it
Bought my stuff today to make this.. so beautiful!!
Really great project,so so pretty 🎄🎄🎄
That is just beautiful. Good job.
Wow, that’s easy and so pretty! I was looking at one of these at a discount store yesterday and they wanted almost $40 and I said “No way!” but now, “Way” bcuz this is so much cheaper and looks like fun to make. I love either candle. I also have most of these items already. I think I’ll do what another person commented below, and that’s to use a plunger handle instead I just subscribed to your channel and I’m looking forward to more tutorials 😊 Thank you and have a blessed day!
Kudos to you for a beautiful project! TFS!!!
I use pvc pipes for my standing halloween props. Seeing your video made me realize i can probably use those for this too! If anyone wants to try it, here is how i do it. I used some small wood square pieces that were from random furniture that had broken and spray painted them black. They are probably about 10 inches sq x half inch thick. Then i took a connector for the pipe and hot glued one end of it to the middle of the wood square with the opening of the other side up. After it dried, i stuck the pipe into the connector. The pipes are short because that was what would fit in my car and I don't have a pvc cutter. Then i add another connector and another pipe to make it longer. I hot glued a connector inside my prop and attached it to the top of the pipe. I cant wait to try this!
I'm new to your channel. I absolutely love love love this. I am planning on making this over the weekend. What a great idea.
Thanks! I would love to see a picture when you're done if you want to post it on my Facebook page. Thanks for subscribing!
Your project turned out really nice!
Thank you for showing how to do the roof on this project! Love it!
I absolutely love this! I have wanted to make me one but wasn't sure how to make it. Thank you for sharing this with us. I'm glad I joined your group today.
Thanks Sandra! Welcome to my channel!
Love this video. I also like your container your glue sticks are in.
Thanks Jacqui! I show how to make the glue gun holder in another video. It's made from 2 items from Dollar Tree. I love it!
Very beautiful!!! Love it will make some soon!
This is so adorable. I have been trying to figure out how to put it together. You have a wonderful idea. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! Looks awesome! One of the best DIYs I've seen!
Very cute!
Awesome lamp post it turned out beautiful!🎄🎄
Super cute! Btw plain ol’ white glue (Elmer’s or generic) works just a as well as wood glue and saves money.
Thanks for the tip Bonnie. I had some wood glue on hand that was getting pretty old so I am trying to use it up, but when it runs out I will remember that. Have a Merry Christmas!
I am so gonna try this! Thank you for sharing your talent with us. I think I can scrounge up some scrap wood and I will use the wood dowel as well. Another thing to consider, fill the wooden box with plaster of paris, sand, or quikcrete? What do you think 🤔.
Beautiful job!
Very creative! Loved your directions on the roof.
It's a great idea and you did a really good job - only thing I would have done a little different was to add some greeneries or something in with the candle.
Rose, that would look pretty. I just might do that.
Thank you so much for sharing this is beautiful have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful day
That is so stickin cute!
Really love this project. But I used a plunger from the dollar tree.
