Tin Lanterns


I'm in love with these Recycled Tin Lanterns that have just been added to the Earthtribe range. Quirky and fun, these lanterns are made using recycled Tin which gets rejected pre production because of color variations or misprints. A great use of materials that would otherwise make their way into landfill. Glass enclosure, spot for a tea light and a hanger....I can feel myself relaxing just thinking of it! One of two shapes, they can be purchased at my online shop.
