Fortune Boat Lamp

If you enjoyed our Fortune Boat Instructable (https://www.instructables.com/id/Fortune_Boats/), then you'll love this little Fortune Boat Lamp by one of the V&A Designers in Residence, Lao Jianhua.

Materials

You will need:

- 9 Fortune Boats (try mixing different colours)
- 1 stapler
- 1 small glass jar
- 1 small tealight or votive candle

Join the Boats

Staple the boats together side by side to make a 'chain' of boats.

Make a Ring

Join the ends of your boat chain together to make a circle.

Add the Candle

Place the candle inside the glass jar and the jar inside your ring of boats.

Voila! You've created a beautiful Fortune Boat Lamp.

Remember! Never leave a lit Fortune Boat Lamp unattended as it can be a potential fire hazard.
