This display/lantern project was cut from 1/8" and 1/4" Baltic birch plywood. I put a candle in it but it can also be used as a small display case for a decorative art piece. The height is ~10.5"
I'm sorry to have to say this every time I do a project with a candle but I must. Candles can be dangerous if left unattended. Only burn candles in areas where they are supervised.
If you use this project with a real candle do not leave the top on while the candle is burning. If you want to leave the top on, then use an electric candle.
Depending on how you plan to use the display/lantern you can either glue the tower to the base of leave the project is three pieces for easy access. If you will only be using it as a display case then you could even glue the top in place and leave the bottom free.
