ice lanterns

they're easy to make, if time consuming.

i think i stumbled across one of the many tutorials on the youtubes and thought that would be a perfect thing to bring a little magic to a girl scout troop's first winter camping.

because if you can create magic, you then have a group of girls who will love winter camping. that first time is important.

and because i am who i am, i took pictures of the process and now you have a nice little set of instructions on how to make ice lanterns.

you freeze the bucket so there's a shell of ice
see the edge between frozen and unfrozen?
either let it sit or run warm water on it until it loosens in the bucket.
flip it over and poke a hole in the thin end.
use a serrated blade to saw the hole to size and shape
drain the water and rinse out the ice bits.
keep making more. clean them up before storing them...
in your large freezer...
before you pack them to travel.
