Paper Lantern Garland

Uros Krstic

What do the best-dressed parties wear? Garland! And we've got a simple way to make your garland stand out: by using paper lanterns. Along with tissue paper and ribbon, it's all you need to add bright, beautiful color to any summer event.

What you need:

Step 1: Fold tissue paper in half and in half again. Cut strips toward the fold that are 1/2 inch thick. Be sure to leave 1 inch space between the strips and the fold.

Step 2-3: Unfold tissue and cut up the center to make two halves. Each half makes a tassel. Start rolling tightly.

Step 4: Twist center into loop. Add a little piece of tape or dot of glue to keep twist in place.

Step 5: Hook twist onto metal hook at the end of paper lantern. Thread ribbon around metal frame. Repeat process for each lantern until your garland is complete

Much Party Love, Smarties!
