Upcycle Rustic Tobacco Stick Lantern For Spring Centerpiece

Looking for a unique rustic Spring centerpiece ideas? See how to decorate a spring centerpiece using a rustic upcycled Tobacco Stick Lantern. If you are looking for Ideas for Lantern Centerpieces, Spring and Easter Decorating, you will love today’s inspiration.

What are Tobacco Stick Lanterns?

Today, I am using a tobacco stick lantern for my centerpiece idea.

Tobacco Stick Lanterns are made from sticks that were used to hang tobacco in barns, allowing it to dry.

The sticks are now used in DIY crafts such as Lanterns, Ladders, Art Frames, etc.

This lantern is a thrift store find and is a fun, rustic decor piece that I enjoy using to decorate.

The Idea For Lantern As Centerpiece!

Each month, Cindy at Country Road 407 finds an image on Pinterest as inspiration for the Challenge. This month’s theme is Spring Lantern, and the inspiration photo comes from Ann at On Sutton Place.

Seeing each person’s interpretation of the inspirational photo is always fun. If you are joining me from Marty from A Stroll Thru Life, Welcome. I’m sure you loved her Spring lantern inspiration.

I used my rustic Tobacco Stick Lantern for today’s challenge instead of a white lantern.

Tobacco Stick Lantern Ideas

I decided to style my screened porch table with the tobacco stick lantern as a centerpiece.

I began with the woven tray and added a pewter bunny and a small greenery candle ring inside the tobacco stick lantern.

Next, I added a smaller coordinating bunny and a trio of preserved moss balls. The moss can fade quickly on the porch, and I use this technique to keep the moss looking fresh for years.

In addition, a few carrots fill the DIY light fixture above the table.

The most simplistic centerpieces can have the largest impact. Love the rustic feel, had no idea what a tobacco stick is, but you won't find them in Canada, I love them. I adore the dishware you have displayed in the background as well. Beautiful

Rachel, this tobacco stick lantern is a really cool idea! I am not a fan of tobacco but I do like the old barns and accessories that were used in the drying process. Really sweet vignette with your lantern, the two bunnies and all those carrots!!! Fun!

Happy almost spring to you, Barb :)
