I bought paper lanterns and we hung them. We also helped the children make their own paper lanterns. Materials Colored construction papers, ribbon, scissors, stapler, tape, sting, hole punch, dowels, cardboard cut into circles.
Directions Fold a construction paper in half, lengthwise.
Cut slits on the folded edge. Unfold the paper and staple the edges to hold it in a lantern shape. Use the hole punch to make a few holes on the top edge of the lantern and attach string. Use the hole punch on the bottom edge to make holes and tie pieces of ribbon through them. Tape the cardboard circles on the bottom of the lantern.
