10 pack · tea lights included
Ten little lights drifting across your pool at dusk
Hand-folded paper lanterns with a candle glowing inside. Set them out as the sun goes down and the whole backyard slows down with them.
Watch
This is what a lantern release looks like
Real footage from a water lantern festival. Same lanterns, same slow drift you get on a backyard pool, just a few hundred more of them.
Ready in a minute
Unfold, light, float. That's it.
-
Pop it open
Each lantern arrives folded flat. Open it out into a 15cm cube and press the base flat.
-
Drop in the tea light
Ten tea light candles come in the box. Sit one in the centre and light it.
-
Set it on the water
Lower it gently onto a pool, pond or dam and let it drift. Best on a still evening with no wind.
Made for
Any night that deserves a bit more than the porch light

A slow Friday night
No party required. A few lanterns on the pool, a drink on the deck, done.
What you get
Hand-folded paper, real candlelight
These are the traditional square water lanterns, not the sky kind. Each one is folded by hand from translucent paper, so the candle glows softly through the walls instead of glaring at you.
- 10 lanterns, 15 × 15 × 15cm when opened, shipped folded flat.
- 10 tea light candles included, so you can light them the night they arrive.
- Reusable. Lift them out before they get soaked, let them dry and fold them flat for next time.
- Floats on any still water: pools, ponds, dams, fountains, even a bath or a bucket on the table.

A quick word on safety
These use a real candle, so treat them like one. Light them on the water or a heat-safe surface, keep them clear of anything that can burn, keep an eye on kids and pets, and lift them out before you head inside. Never release them into waterways or the ocean. Prefer no flame at all? They look just as good with an LED tea light.
