Paper Lanterns

Yesterday, we learned a little about the Chinese New Year and made these easy paper lanterns.  We started by folding a piece of paper in half.
 

On the folded edge, the kids cut a fringe about half way up the paper.



After cutting the fringe, we opened the folded paper and wrapped it around to create the lantern, taping the ends to keep it together.



We added a handle and the kids decorated the lanterns with sequins.



This was fun and simple and a good cutting practice craft.
Happy Chinese New Year!
