This year’s Halloween porch display required some rustic lanterns so I whipped up these adorable wooden Jack O’Lanterns.
These are made with 1X6 cedar fence boards because we didn’t have any 1X stock in the leftover wood pile and fence boards are cheap.
You could use anything as long as it’s an inch thick…recycled pallets, etc…the rattier, the better from my point of view!
If you want a larger lantern, you could use a 1X8 or even two 1X4s placed side by side. The sky’s the limit. Instructions on the pics!
