Step-by-step

Step 1
Adjust the size of your decorative template until it's the right size to fit inside the tea light holder. Position a copy of the template on the inside of the lantern and secure it with a piece of sticky tape.

Step 2
Shake the edding gloss paint marker with the cap on and then carefully transfer the decorative motif to the glass lantern. The ink dries very quickly, preventing it from being smudged accidentally. Allow the final pen strokes to dry, place a tealight inside and you're done!
