Holiday Decorations Inspired by Nature

Trim outside lanterns with bows and simple embellishments. Here, a rustic lantern adorned with simple pinecone and feather trim and a printed ribbon bow. Tie bow first, then wire the embellishments to the bow, leaving enough wire at the ends to attach the bow arrangement to lantern.
