"The holes in the tin lantern freckled everything with little lights and shadows. Almanzo could see that Father looked solemn; he stroked his beard and slowly shook his head. Almanzo waited anxiously, but Father only took the lantern and made a last round of the barns to see that everything was snug for the night. Then they went into the house."

You probably have most of the supplies needed for this already at home.
A washed out tin can, hammer, nail, awl or screwdriver, paper, pencil and a towel are all you need.
Here's another blog that shows how to do it.
Another idea for tin punching ornaments with pop cans can be found in this book.
This is a great winter handcraft. When you're done making your lantern you can set it out in the snow and watch it glow, or take a moonlit snowy walk under the stars.
