Where to buy centerpiece lanterns (for cheap)?

We got beautiful gold ones, that are pretty large at 5 Below!

Yes, I heard Five Below is good. If you have a Christmas Tree Shop near you, I would try that too. We got ours at Hobby Lobby but I want to say they were $9-10 a piece, but I only got a couple for our cocktail hour.

IKEA has lanterns if you have one by you, I think they have 3 different sizes (mix and match looks cool) you can spray paint them gold. IKEA is nice and affordable

Check Walmart in the clearance aisle. I saw some big gold ones there the other day.

If you have access to a 3D printer you could print them. My FH and I are printing these. You can change the filiment color or choose Tor prime them and paint them once they are finished.

That is awesome! Sadly, I do not...is there such thing as like...Kinkos for 3D printing? Lol

This is a table mockup I did on my dining table. The lanterns were purchased at five below during Christmas for 5 bucks each. I'm not sure if they would still have some but you might find them on resale groups as well.

I got mine at IKEA (the Borrby lantern), I think for $7.99 and I'll spray paint them rose gold. The glass easily pops in an out to make the painting easy. I think they look VERY nice for the price! They are definitely large enough to be a centerpiece as that is my plan for some of my tables (surrounded by eucalyptus and other small flowers / candles).

Awesome, I think that's gonna be the winner...thanks everyone who mentioned 5 below but I couldn't find any left

I didn't want to have to spray paint but thanks for letting me know about the glass popping out, that makes me feel better!! Shouldn't be too much of a chore then

You can make your own lanterns from dollar store picture frames.

I've done it, it was really easy, cheap, and you can make them as big or small as you want, depending on the size of the frames.

View Quoted Comment That's such a neat idea! I'm not sure I trust myself to make 20 of them (I won't be doing the setting up and I'd feel so awful if I didn't make them strong enough and they broke during set up or something) but I definitely may use this to make big lanterns for the floor/stair area! 😍

We got ours at Walmart for under $10!!
