Glue translucent mosaic pieces onto a lantern or a recycled glass jar. Add LED lights inside – and you’ll create a stunning and atmospheric light piece! In our collection you'll find beautiful glass lanterns in various styles – browse and order yours!
Be sure to choose a clear, strong-bonding, and frost-resistant glue – we recommend: Silicone Glue, CollKit Glue, or Olba Glue. Also explore our range of light bottle and lantern-making materials. Get inspired by our selection of translucent glass mosaic pieces!
How to make your lantern – step by step:
Apply glue directly to a clean glass surface in small sections and press the mosaic pieces onto it. Avoid getting glue on your fingers or the front of the tiles. You can also shape glass pieces easily using mosaic wheeled nippers.
Let your glued mosaic dry well. If desired, you can grout the lantern. Use protective gloves and a dust mask. Mix the grout, apply it over the surface, let it set for a moment, wipe off the excess with a damp sponge, and finish by polishing the surface with a soft dry cloth.
