Outdoor tealight lanterns, whether suspended from a border hook or placed on an outdoor table, are a popular garden accessory that can add colour to your garden or patio and as well as some romantic candle light for the long summer evenings. Perfect for dining out of doors, for concerts, picnics and nearly every other occasion.

Plain metal lanterns are fairly inexpensive and can be bought from most garden centres – but why not make these your own with spray paint? Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch spray paint is available in 42 colours and finishes so you can pick the colour that best suits your outdoor space or event theme.

Use Rust-Oleum Surface Primer on bare metal, or use Rust-Oleum Universal spray paint that requires no primer. The spray paint will also protect the lantern from rust should you leave it outdoors.
