Love & Light: DIY Lanterns & Intentions

In this thoughtful and creative workshop, adults are invited to create their own personalized lanterns, each crafted with positive intentions and affirmations. Using colored tissue paper, beads, charms, and other decorative elements, participants design a lantern that reflects their personal journey and intentions for the future. Alongside the crafting, participants will engage in guided reflection, setting intentions or affirmations that bring warmth, positivity, and purpose into their lives.

Activities:

• Lantern Crafting: Design and build lanterns using tissue paper, wire, and embellishments.
• Decorating with Meaning: Add charms, beads, and other personal touches that resonate with your intentions.
• Affirmation Writing: Write affirmations or personal goals on the lantern, creating a visual reminder of your intentions.

Takeaway:
Each participant will leave with a beautiful, custom-designed lantern featuring an LED candle—perfect for a bedside or meditation space.
