Paper Lanterns

Chinese New Year is almost here! These miniature paper lanterns in various colors are sure to brighten up any atmosphere.











I have no tutorial pictures here, but here are the instructions.


So how you do this is, you get a piece of rectangular paper. I had mine at 2 inches by 4 inches.

Fold it in half lengthways, and then in half again, the other way round.

Cut incisions at the folded part, but not all the way through!

Open up the paper.

Bring the edges to meet one another, gently push it by the edges to the middle and glue the edges.

String the lanterns together with a thread. You're done!


This craft is simple enough to not have instructions anyway :P

Happy Tuesday!
