There is something wonderful about lights and lanterns now the dark nights are drawing in and this fab roundup of fantastic Fall DIY lanterns and lights are brought to you in conjunction with Festive Lights.

Festive Light gifted us some of their brilliant products over the summer, but they have really come into their own over the last month not the darker evenings are here and I want to share them with you along fantastic DIYl DIY lanterns and lights as one of the things we received was a pack of battery operated tealights, which we use in our jar lanterns.

We were also sent some solar power festoon lights and these are just so beautiful and are lovely to look out to when I am washing up as we placed them along the back fence.  It is so hard to photograph lights!  In addition to these we also have a beautiful wooden battery powered lantern that we use in our garden.  This wooden battery powered lantern is fab as it has a setting where it comes on automatically at the same time each night and turns off after a set time. Perfect for providing a glow when Alvin goes outside on an evening.

With the dark nights here our outdoor lights and lanterns are really coming in to their own. This wooden battery powered lantern is fab as it has a setting where it comes on automatically at the same time each night and turns off after a set time.

We also have a small dome lamp, which the husbeast loves.  He has always said that he loves old fashioned light bulbs and the dome lamp shows the beauty of the light bulb filaments, but also fits in with my design style.

So back to those battery operated tealights.  Now we have children and an animal these are all we use around the house and have replaced real flame tealights.  They are perfect for Halloween lanterns and look really effective they would look perfect in any of these fantastic fall DIY lanterns or luminaries.
