I found these Trekkers Lanterns on a website called The Track of The Wolf and thought I'd have ago at making something similar.
I used an old shaving foam canister for the main body and the handle retainer and a bit of fence wire for the handles.
Like the original the handles ,when open, help add extra stability to the lantern, kind of like legs .
Tea light candles fit quite well although I'm not sure how well this kind of lantern works outside yet.
I did think that with a sheet of something like Mica wood burner window material you could maybe make a Uco type lantern .
Cheers,
Pete.
