• Step 1

  Remember stancing cups back when you were younger? Three on the bottom, two on the spaces, and 1 on top? This is the same basic principle used here.

  Start making snowballs. A good amount is around 8-10 of them. Arrange the snowballs in a circle around a small votive or tea light cnadle. This is your first rung.

• Step 2

  Make more snowballs, stacking them on top of where two snowballs join on the first rung.

  So if you had 8 on the bottom, you should have 7 on the next layer.

• Step 3

  Continue doing this until the opening on top is still large enough to light your candle.

• Step 4

  Light the votive using the long neck lighter.

  (If you don't know what these are, they are basically a safety precautioned form of a lighter. Typically used for lighting things in places where astandard lighter could burn you easily)

• Step 5

  Continue making snowballs and fitting them over the previous ring of snowballs until the top hole is covered.

• Step 6

  Voila!
  A snow latern!
