This hanging lantern will accept an electric candle 3.25" diameter and 4.25" tall. There is an optional wall bracket pattern included to hang the lantern from. You can eliminate the chain and just sit the lanterns on a table.
I used all 1/4" Baltic birch plywood for this prototype. I use BB ply many times to reduce my cost while I am testing my patterns. This lantern would obviously look nicer in beautiful hardwood.
Optional Wall Bracket
Not recommended but if you do use a real candle then please make sure you remove the top while lit. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
