Method:

Search for a level area on your yard and begin making snowballs. Make the same number of snowballs as you’d like. Keep the snowballs equal in size. The more snowballs you build, the larger you can create. After creating the snowballs, begin to shape a ring with the balls on the ground. Include one layer after another, delicately diminishing the width at each level. While layering the snowballs, leave a gap inside so that you can put tea lights or candles in it. Now light up the candles and cover the little snow pyramids with remaining snowballs. Your glowing snowball lanterns are ready for fun.
