I love Chinese paper lanterns. We had them at our wedding, and we have one in our bedroom. One of the things I love most about lanterns are the endless possibilities for turning them into something new and fantastic. Here are 25 paper lantern makeovers that I’ve collected.
Be creative. Use these ideas and methods to come up with your own. Use glitter, tissue paper, crepe paper, coffee filers, and so many other crafty things to transform a simple paper lantern into something spectacular.
