When it gets dark and cold outside, this magical decoration provides a warm and cozy light in your home. Craft the pretty light arch with the help of this craft instruction very easy.
Creative with napkin technique
The light arch is a natural colored craft blank made of wood. So that the napkin motif can later be presented on the light arch with a bright and friendly look, first prime the wood with white craft paint.
At the same time, prime a coaster. "Season's Greeting" or a similar message will be written on this later.
First, roughly cut the napkin. After the primer has dried, paint the back wall of the light arch with napkin varnish, remove the bottom layers of paper from the napkin and carefully lay the motif flat. Paint over the motif area with another layer of napkin varnish, as this also serves as a protective varnish.

Install light
Holes are already pre-drilled in the light arch for the individual bulbs of the light chain. Insert the light bulbs into these holes from behind.
Arrange small miniature lanterns on the tray of the light arch. The cables can be hidden behind the light arch in the process.

When it comes to labeling, it gets personal
We have labeled our decoration example with the words "Season's Greeting". However, you can add your own personal lettering to the sign, which consists of the primed coaster. To try it out, sketch out the lettering on a piece of paper first. This way you can better estimate the size and visual effect.
Decorate small miniatures
Glue snowberries into small terra cotta pots. Arrange them together with wooden fir trees, miniature lanterns, a miniature deer pack or similar accessories on the light arch. Secure everything in place with hot glue.
Finally, place the tea light jars in the pots provided for this purpose.
