Wind light with flowers

Step by Step Tutorial

A balmy spring or summer evening invites you to sit on the balcony or terrace and let the day come to an end. To make the end of the day, the garden party or the family dinner particularly atmospheric, flowers and candles are always a good choice. We have combined both here and rounded off the arrangement with our "Crushed Filz" in cool shades of green.

Required Utensils

Cut flowers and meadow flowers in various shades of blue such as Delphinium, Lisanthus, Black Cumin, Carnations, Nolana etc.

VIOLET

By using STYLIT "Crushed Filz" in jade green and forest green as well as STYLIT wool cord "Dochtfaden" in moss green, you create a harmonious interplay of colours and materials. The jade green of the felt brings a calming and refreshing atmosphere into the room, while the forest green creates a natural and soothing mood. The moss green "wick thread" wool cord rounds off the colour scheme perfectly and gives the lantern an organic touch.

With its simple flowers, the lantern brings a touch of country feeling to the dining table, side table or windowsill and brings a warm and cosy atmosphere to your home. Let nature inspire you and create a lantern with delicate meadow flowers with a harmonious felt border.

Step by Step

Step 1: Cut the felt

First cut the "Crushed Filz", in the colours jade green and forest green, into oblong strips. These should be about two thumbs wide and between 30 and 40 cm long.

Step 2: Attach to ring

Fold the felt strips in half and thread them through the metal ring. Then glue the strips together at the end. Do this until the whole ring is wrapped in felt strips. Place the finished ring on the glass bowl.

Step 3: Embellish with cord

Take the wool cord „Dochtfaden" and cut several threads, approx. 60 cm. Then fold the threads in half and glue them to the felt strips around the ring with the hot glue gun.

Step 4: Let there be light

Now place the sponge in the middle of the bowl and place the empty candle jar with the tea light on the sponge. Place some greenery of your choice around the glass in the sponge to give the arrangement volume and liveliness.

Step 5: Drape flowers

Place the meadow and cut flowers all around in the plug-in sponge. The arrangement should look loose and simple. The flowers and the binding greenery look simple, almost like a forest meadow. Make sure there is a good balance of light blue, purple and green.

Step 6: Done!

Your lantern is ready! Place it in a special place in your home or outside and let it become a real eye-catcher. Enjoy the warm light of the candle that shimmers through the "Crushed Filz“ and the wool cord "Dochtfaden" and creates a cosy atmosphere.
