To make one you will need:

• Metal Mixing bowl
• Plastic yogurt or pudding container
• Cupful of coins
• Outside Freezing temperatures ( or the inside of a freezer)

Start by pouring a couple of inches of water into your metal bowl
Place it outdoors or in your freezer to freeze
Fill the yogurt or pudding container with coins, then center it on the ice in the bowl
Slowly pour more water into the bowl, so that it nearly reaches the rim of the plastic container
No put it back outside or in your freezer and let it freeze solid.
To remove it from the bowl, run warm water around the outside of the bowl . This should loosen the ice lantern and slide out.
Remove coins from plastic container and then pour in warm water and remove.
Now the Ice Lantern is ready for a votive candle.
