Then wrap the rubber band around the opening to seal it.ice lantern3 The next part is a little tricky. To create the space where the candle will go, stretch the neck of the balloon over a shot glass. Make sure that the diameter of your shot glass is wider than your candle. You can use something else like a pop bottle if it is not.ice lantern4 Next place the balloon in a bowl that is about the same size as the balloon so it holds it's shape. Then work the opening of the balloon over the shot glass as far as you can so the candle space is kept free of water. ice lantern5 Freeze the lantern for between 12 and 24 hours until it is solid. Once it is frozen pour some hot water inside the shot glass so you can easily remove it. ice lantern6 Peel the balloon away from the ice and then place it upside down over your LED candle.
