DIY - 4th of July Lanterns

Red, White & Blue Lanterns

These would be cute for any event. 

Supplies needed:

cardstock

glue

scissors

ruler (optional)

stapler

paint, stars (link to template below), stickers & glitter (whatever you want to use to decorate them)

I printed the star template on red, white & blue paper

A good time for cutting practice!

These lines are about 3/4" apart.

I have to be honest, I only measured the first one.

After that, I just eye-balled it. :)

 Then fold the two ends together and staple just the top and bottom. 

 I also used the paintings they made last week

This was also from a patriotic craft we made last week.

I love how this one looks.  

For the handle:

I cut a piece of cardstock about an inch or so width wise.

 I glued them to the inside of each lantern.

I saw some really cute 4th of July themed ribbon at Hobby Lobby today.

I want to go back and get it to hang the lantern's on that.
