Make Your Own Easy Garden Lanterns

Make your own pierced-tin candleholders

Length: 3:19

Watch Michelle Gervais, Fine Gardening's technical editor, demonstrate how to make garden lanterns. Pierced-tin candleholders are easy to create and add a folk-art touch to your garden. Even better, most of the materials can be found in the recycling bin and in a reasonably well-stocked tool shed.

Michelle's article "Garden Lanterns" appears in the September/October 2002 issue of Fine Gardening (#87).
