Liven Up Life (And Any Party) With Some Lovely Lanterns!

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