Craft a sustainable glow with this festive lantern tutorial
Discover how to create the same handheld lanterns used during the Glow Wild light trail. This easy, mindful winter craft uses simple materials to bring a touch of botanical magic to your Christmas celebrations.
In this tutorial, Wakehurst craft tutor Katherine Morton demonstrates how to construct sustainable lanterns. The process involves using wet strength tissue paper and a container for mixing to create a beautiful, handheld light source.
These lanterns are a staple of the Glow Wild event, part of the larger Christmas at Kew light trail. Beyond the craft, the video provides a glimpse into the seasonal traditions at Kew Gardens, where visitors encounter immersive soundscapes, light installations, and festive treats like toasted marshmallows and mulled wine.
