Lanterns


This weekend we'll be at attending the annual New Year's parade. And we're making classic lanterns for the house.


There a many good tutorials online to make paper lanterns. It couldn't be easier. We didn't use a template, we just folded and cut. It doesn't matter if the cuts are perfectly straight or even. Ours were very uneven and wonky, but you can't really tell at all when they are folded.
