Ice Lanterns

This Christmas my niece gave us a wonderful and fun gift. We are enjoying it as long as the cold lasts and will make more of these remarkable ICE LANTERNS when the cold returns for good. This picture is not our house, but the lanterns we made are just like these.

The process is super simple. Just pour water into the mold. Freeze indoors or outdoors for 24 hours and then unmold by pouring a little warm water into the cavity. Actually my ice lanterns just slipped right out. There is space inside to place a candle or battery operated light and the effect is just fantastic.

  • The concept is from Norway.
