Craft: Lucky Lanterns!

Hey readers,

Make some colourful paper decorations! Check it out!

You’ll need: 

• rectangular- shaped coloured paper
• scissors
• tape or stapler

What to do:

1. Cut a strip from one of the short sides of the paper. Set it aside to make the handle later.
2. Fold the remaining piece of paper lengthwise.
3. Cut slits along the paper starting to fold and stopping about 3 cm (1 in.) from the top edge.
4. Unfold the paper and form it into a tube. Tape or staple the top and bottom edges.
5. Tape or staple the strip of paper from Step 1 onto the inside top edges of the lantern for a handle.
6. Hang your lantern on a patio or by a window!

Have fun!
