Ah, the first day of spring! Now's the time of year when people begin to spruce up the house, getting rid of the old and adding back a little new. If you're looking to add a little extra cuteness at little to no cost, then why not try out these adorable lanterns! Fit for many occasions, these little guys can add a touch of sweetness and creativity to anything from an elegant wedding to a child's birthday party.
Here at the GVJCI, we like to use these lanterns for our annual Matsuri held every June. They add a nice bit of prettiness to an event that's already filled with so much fun! To make them, check out the instructions below!
Happy crafting!

STEP 1: Fold square origami paper in half.
STEP 2: Fold the rectangular strip in half and make cuts about 2/3 of the way up.
STEP 3: Connect the ends together to make cylinder shape and tape together.
STEP 4: Press down on the top of the lantern to flesh out the shape.
STEP 5: Punch 2 holes along the top and string the yarn through.
STEP 6: Cut a long piece of yarn to string all of your lanterns together.
STEP 7: Hang wherever desired and admire your work! Wasn't that easy?
