Craft Quickie Thursday - Paper Lanterns

Traci's post about paper plum blossoms brought back memories. My beloved grandma used to make these. I wish I had saved some, or at least had pictures of some she had made.

Anyways...it's CRAFT QUICKIE THURSDAY which means something easy! Something quick! Something "Chinese New Year" related! PAPER LANTERNS!


Photo from About.com

The best part about this one is everyone should have the supplies on hand:
  • 1 Piece of Paper (You can use bond paper, construction paper, or even cardstock. For best results, use a piece approximately 8.5" x 11")
  • Pencil
  • Ruler
  • Scissors
  • Markers or Crayons (Optional)
  • Stapler or Tape
You can find the easy, excellent step-by-step instructions with photos over at about.com.

My 9 yr. old daughter made some of these at school, they were a little differently shaped, much simpler of a style. They were learning about Chinese New Year at school. Hers were soooo cute!
