Chinese New Year - Lantern

Today we made these Chinese Lanterns from tp rolls.

 

Such a cute idea and so easy to make too.  I got the original idea here.

Lantern Supply List: 1 toilet paper roll, paint, hole punch, glue, ribbon or string, tissue paper, utility knife

1.     Paint your toilet paper roll and allow to dry.

2.     Using your utility knife cut slits around the toilet paper roll.

3.     Squeeze your toilet paper roll so that the cut pieces bend outward.  Use your hole punch to put 2 holes in the top of your toilet paper roll.  Add ribbon or string.

4.     Cut your tissue paper into strips.

5.     Glue your tissue paper around the inside bottom of your toilet paper roll.
