Untwist the first 10" of a 24" piece of twisted copper wire. Shape the individual strands around a round 6" chandelier globe; use one strand to band a pigtail at the bottom of the globe. Curl the tails around a dowel, then bend them into a pleasing arrangement. Wrap a piece of 16-gauge copper wire around the lip of the globe to cradle it within the wires. Form a loop at the opposite end of the twisted wire; untwist and shape the first 4 or 5" of each strand. Add sand and a votive candle, then hang the lantern from the hook.
