Recently, I was visiting our neighbor Joel and was really impressed with his back yard. We live in a townhouse community and he had fenced in his backyard. He lined the fence with tealight lanterns for outdoor lighting. I adore this look! Especially for get together and parties. Absolutely gorgeous and so frugal!
Ikea sells the Rotera lantern for tealights for $3.99 per piece. They are suitable for outdoor use and can be purchased here. They also sell Glimma tealights in packs of 100 for $3.99, which can be found here. If you have extra money or time to shop around, they come in many different styles that evoke memories of the eastern shore or Morocco depending on your tastes.

January 31 at 1:37 pmThose tea light lanterns are absolutely cute! :”> They give off enough brightness to light the place without compromising privacy. I’ve been planning to put that kind of outdoor lighting in our garden, but my schedule is tight until next month. Nevertheless, I’m really excited! 😀

May 18 at 9:56 pmLighting like this would be absolutely perfect for when you are holding big events in your yard, or anywhere for that matter. I think that lighting like this would be really cute for a wedding reception, or even just a family party. I love how vintage and classy they look. I wonder how much lanterns like this usually cost.

June 2 at 9:02 amI’m really looking for a new way to light up the night in my backyard. This idea you shared of putting a lantern on the fence is awesome. I’d love to see what I can do about getting a few of those. Also, I’d love to get some hanging lanterns to go above the yard outside. Do you have any ideas of what I should look for?

January 10 at 1:58 pmI never thought to consider candle lanterns as a cheap decorative option. I never thought to consider using candle light as a decorative aspect, but now that I think about it’s a great cheap alternative to electrical lanterns! I’ve also heard that lanterns are a good way to avoid fire hazards, I’ll have to look more into it though!

April 11 at 9:48 pmThis is some really good information about buying lanterns. It is good to know that it would be smart to have lights around fences. That is good to know that you can get a lantern styled light that you can put tea lights in.

May 14 at 11:02 amThanks for the ideas and the photos! We’re thinking about doing my daughter’s reception in our backyard, and we’d love to decorate the yard to make it look more exciting. I especially love the way your neighbor hung his lanterns on the fence. Beautiful!

In the event that you perceive yourself in some of them, I figure it may be worth requiring the investment to continue perusing my profile.

September 23 at 8:21 pmMy mom wanted to add lightings on our outdoor porch. It was explained here that there are lanterns that are suitable outdoors. Furthermore, it’s recommended to go to trusted shops when planning to have hanging star lanterns.
