Learn how to make mesh cone lanterns using simple materials.
Steps:

  1. Create a cone shape out of wire mesh fabric by cutting a large triangle with three smaller triangles along the top edge.
  2. Roll up the fabric to create a cone and fold down the three smaller triangles. Stitch the open seam with a fine metal thread (available at craft stores)
  3. Randomly spray gold paint on the cone and outline the design with three-dimensional paint.
  4. Use picture wire to secure a small jar inside the cone and create a hanger.
  5. Add crystals to the three pointed ends.
