I once made this cute paper latern for my Hawaiian themed 18th birthday party. I couldn't believe how easy they were to make and appear so festive. These decorative paper laterns can be embellished to suit any occasion.
Here's What You'll Need:
- One 8.5" x 11" piece of paper (construction paper, bond paper, or even cardstock.)
- Scissors
- Tape or Stapler
- Ruler
- Pencil
- Hole puncher
- String or Ribbon
How To Make It:
- Fold paper in half lengthwise. Cut slices about an inch in width and making sure to stop about 1″ from the edge.
- To assemble the latern, unfold the paper and roll it into a tube shape. Match the long edges together on the lantern and use tape to hold it in place.
- Hole-punch on the top of each side of the latern. Loop a string through both holes and knot the ends together.
- If you plan on having the lanterns on the ground or sitting on flat surface outdoors, it is recommended to wrap and glue your latern around a tall glass vase that holds the candle since the paper you're using can be a little flimsy.
