Reddit mentions: The best decorative candle lanterns

Hi, Ricki! My name is Bridget! And I'm totally okay with the idea of buying love. I'm VERY into Harry Potter (I'll be checking your wish list for all the HP related items I should be asking for). I graduated college and now I'm looking for work, hopefully with a nice nonprofit organization where I can use my heart in my job. (Oopa, I already found something from your wish list I'm going to add: Time Turner Keychain! I have the necklace on my list, but this is much more everyday-functional. Dont want to walk around every day wearing one on my neck or people are going to take advantage of my time travel abilities!) I also see that you watch Community, Dr. Who, and Game of Thrones, three shows I want to get into. Which should I start with?

We also have VERY identical taste in music! As in...I have or want every single one of those songs/artists on your music list. Uncanny!

I also want to say that I like that a strong woman like yourself isn't embarrassed to have a mustache. Mustaches are very womanly! (Amazon profile pic! =D)

Lastly, I LOVE Disney World. Ever been to World or Land? I've been to world twice, and I want to go again with my family within the next 3 or so years, and also stop at HP world. So fun!

For my gift, I'd love this neat candle holder. I love astronomy, and this is cutely star shaped (even though stars are actually flaming spheres, and whoever got the idea that they're shaped like our idea of stars is a moron!)

Nice contest. Got any questions for me? ♥

Okay, I've always dreamed of having a room that was all done up Arabian Nights style, with lovely lush silks hanging from the walls and pretty Moroccan lamps everywhere, so... I'm gonna give you that, via amazon suggestions :)

First we start with this lovely canopy for your bed. Then I would add this Incense burner because well, it looks like a genie lamp, and incense is sexy and can help you set the mood. Then we would hang several of these beautiful hanging candle holders around the room, for mood, also it's impossible for anyone to look bad by candle light. Then we would hang several of these along the walls, to really give it that Arabian appeal, so you feel like you are in a tent. Then top that off with a few more candle holder lamps around the room, and some poufs and some rugs and you have yourself a lovely harem, all you need to do is fill it with sexy men :)

Justin Bieber is one of the cockiest douchebags to ever rise to fame.


also I would love to send you a post card :)

This is something very near and dear to my heart as both I and my oldest nephew have food allergies. There are tons of fun, non-food items you can hand out to trick or treaters that they will love. My favorite to hand out has been play-do. Other good ones are those Mardi Gras necklaces, stickers, or stamp rings. Please consider at least adding a few different non-food items to your normal candy giving.

...Btw, if you are looking for cool teal pumpkins and don't want to paint one yourself, Amazon has a lot of neat ones to put out. I'm told Target sometimes has them as well.

I made this so I could visualize it myself. Simple and minimalist, so it seems fairly low maintenance. I like a black painted wood bench (add some pillows for your style), a black metal end table, and simple decor like potted plants and oversized lanterns. I think the curtain helps close in the area and make it look more cozy. I know this style isn't for everyone and may not exactly match your house exterior, but let me know if you like it :)

Home sweet home is the place to be <3

Congrats on the new place !!

May I suggest this beautiful coffee table as a lovely center piece or a side table? You could follow this up by adding these mystifying lamps

I also think this Iron Wall Medallion would be an amazing eye-catcher when guests come into your new home!

A few diff styles that might help get you thinking:

-party vibes
I thought this was cool- I know it is pricy but I'm sure there is more like this.

-spiritual vibes

-contemplative vibes


-festive vibes

-As for the kettle bells, have no recommendations, but they are pretty standard, don't think quality or brand makes a huge difference

I think all of these things are thrust and cute

This is my boring old kitchen table, our kitchen pretty much has nothing in it. Wondering where the kitchen chairs are? We have none :( We have to save up and buy some. In the mean time I have a table runner and candle set on my house needs/wants wishlist I would Love to have for my kitchen table. The table runner is the first thing I would like to get. Are we allowed to link wishlist items again?

The sailor moon funko on your wishlist is pretty cute, I'd get that if I were you :)

If you want something huggable this is a good choice :D

This is a good choice if you're looking for decor!

Congrats!! :D :D

You should totally have these in some of the centerpieces! This is also super pretty. And this is probably too pricey for centerpieces, but it would be really neat if you could work gargoyles into them!

These are not the best looking but the price is right. This one is pretty, but red. Maybe you could hack something together by glueing a lantern you like onto a taper candlestick, like people do to make cake stands.

amazon also offers these at $4 a piece

honestly there are a lot of options out there for under $11 where you don't have to put in any time or labor on your part! good luck!

I have two cats both of whom are kneaders and both of whom occasionally like to "help" me meditate. I wear a blanket over my legs and usually have a thick bathrobe on (since I meditate right after I shower) and that helps with any kneading.

As for candle safety, I use a catholic votive candle which comes in a glass jar and keep it in a small box shrine with doors. If you are using a more open flame so you can see it to meditate on you might consider getting a long box that you can stand up and put the candle in or even a tall clear glass candle holder or even an oil lantern with a wick.

You should buy us both this lantern!! It's on both of our wishlists, and it would make a great addition to my sunroom, and yours! :)

I would expand and build onto my kitchen. I am so desperate for a decent kitchen hahaha

Thanks for the contest

Nice! Here is the link. On mobile, so my apologies if I fuck it up.

It is a gorgeous lamp :)

I had to comb through my history but it was this Moroccan style lamp. It’s gorgeous https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B3KOODU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_274nDbZCNS265

We haven't bought them yet, so I can't speak of the quality.

Whenever I do lanterns, I use a dremel to cut the bottom completely open (cut a big circle out, smooth out your rough metal edges after). This is also doable by drilling a starter hole and then using tin snips.

This big open area becomes my battery storage and also a spot for a wireless dimmer if you're doing that. Next, I cut a piece of 1/4" luuan/skinply into a circle that fits into the base, paint it out to match the lantern, and apply velcro to it and the edge of my remaining lip in the base. Voila! Removable base!

Next, I remove the wick and little holder thing. This can usually be pried off. If you can only get the wick out and removed enough other gunk to get into your opened reservoir, you can also just tinsnip open the wick holder to make it wider. Now you can insert either a 12v lamp base, a battery operated candle, etc. Because you have access inside, you can also decide to install a switch on the lantern base to allow your actor to turn it on/off.


OR...you can make your life really easy and convince your team to just buy an LED lantern. You'll find them lots of places now because of halloween, but you can always find them on Amazon, etc. https://www.amazon.com/Seasons-Rustic-Fashioned-Light-Lantern/dp/B00BLPSGG8/

Hell yes I wanna help!

String fairy lights.


A cool hanging lantern.

A corner shelf cause you can never find anything to put in the damn corner!

A little friend to keep you company.

Some snazzy rope lights (we have them in the bedroom. very cool).


Ceiling stars because screw you there awesome.

Don't act like you wouldn't want one.

And this so you can talk on the telephone while lying in bed.

Enjoy!

I use a 6 foot tall menorah I made out of plywood a few years ago. (For some reason the pictures aren't on imgur anymore but you can get a rough idea from the thumbnail on reddit). I use candle lanterns to hold the candles. Also since I use it outside they provide wind protection. Wood obviously does burn. I've never seen anything available commercially they will make it non flammable. As other have said if you want to make the frame out of wood just make sure the candles are secured with a non-flammable material. You could also consider using oil in a glass container with a wick holder, or short candles like neronim in a votive glass holder. Both of those should keep the flame contained and away from your wood. If you go with standard wax candles, the thing to remember is that the candle will burn down and could ignore whatever is below it, and it could also fall sideways, so make sure you're covered in either direction.

Clay will retain it's shape if you fire it, but it's surprisingly bad for holding candles. Something about the rigidity and the fact that candles seem to change sizes every few years makes it a bad fit. If you can make it work, great, but I've just had bad luck with it.

Get a sturdy candle lantern and then it should be (relatively) safe to let a candle burn down unattended.

I thought this was a really cool lantern :)

Looks like a wreath of flowers with a small lantern.
