A Rustic Lantern project idea If you aren’t ready with a big project yet, this small project will do in a pinch.

Adorning your bedroom with a rustic lantern can be a good start. Even if your bedroom adopts modern flair, adding this lantern will add a nuance to it. To make this lantern, you’re going to need 2, 2x2s at 6 feet long, 2 1/4″ screws, wood glue, stain or paint, and mitre saw. The first thing you need to do is cut a wood plank into four pieces and glue them down together. Use clamp to set them together. This will be the base and the top of the lantern, so you’re going to cut it in half. Then, cut the 2×2 to make four posts that connect the base and the top. Assemble the posts, base, and top using screws. Next, you’re going to need to make its legs from scrap. They have to be 1”x ¾”. Attach the four legs at the bottom, whitewash the lantern, and you’re done! 9. A Bookshelf from Reclaimed Wood idea This bookshelf is awesome. It will not only help you host your books and knick-knacks, but also provide the well-worn look that will round out your rustic bedroom.
