Hi Everybody!
Well today is my baby girl's first Birthday! And this mommy has a party to get ready for this weekend... I wanted to share with you one of the many crafting projects I've been working on for the party: Paper Lanterns!
I can not believe how easy they were! All you need is paper, scissors a border punch and a little adhesive!
First you'll want to take your paper (any text weight paper will work, I used Stardream) and fold it in half hot dog style.
Next cut on the folded edge about 3 inches into the paper every quarter inch, or so. (Note: If you want to make this go faster you can use the Martha Fringe Scissors!)
Unfold the paper and punch the edges:
Finally glue the two raw edges together to form the lantern:
You can customize these to fit any occasion by using a different border punch along with any color paper.
What party can you make these for?

What a great idea and tutorial. And the question is what party can't you make these for!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea! I googled MS Floral Vine edge punch and ran into your blog. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI will definitely try this on my other punches.
