BAKING INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY FIRST: Please ensure that your lantern can withstand the baking temperature.

Place your lantern on a baking sheet into a cold oven. Preheat the oven to 160ºC / gas mark 3. When the oven reaches this temperature, bake for 40 minutes and then turn the oven off. Open the oven door slightly to allow the item to cool slowly. Do not remove the lantern from the oven until it has cooled. Always wear protective handwear such as oven gloves during this baking process.

NB: If your lanterns cannot withstand being baked they can still be decorated according the the instructions and not baked. However, the finish may not be as durable.
