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.

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.

A chunky thrifted candleholder and a milk glass vase with faux Dollar Tree carrots complete the items in the woven tray.
