These were whipped up at the last minute hence the reason the glass looks completely different on each one.

I pulverized the Big Lots lantern ($4 each) metal from my how-to then painted (both linked below) the glass two completely different ways with completely different paint. The glass is the only thing painted at this point. When I have time I'll figure out the lantern body look.

How-To: Distress the lantern metal
How-To: Paint the lantern glass

I present to you - Ol' Sooty (blackened glass) and Frosty (white glass).

Which one do you like better and how do you knock the sheen off the outside part of the glass?

The paint job you did on the glass came out really well. The night shots are very pretty:)

I don't know that you really need to take the sheen off the outside of the glass, but perhaps that's just me.
