Description

Create stunning paper bag lanterns to enhance any setting with a warm glow.


Ingredients

  • Brown paper bags (small to medium size)
  • Battery-operated tea lights or candles
  • Scissors
  • Stencils or cut-out designs (optional)
  • Decorative items (e.g., ribbon, paint, or markers)
  • Tape or glue (optional)

Instructions

  1. Flatten each paper bag and cut them to your desired height if necessary. Fold the top edge down slightly for an artistic touch.
  2. Use scissors to cut shapes or patterns into the sides of the bags or place stencils on them and trace around them with a pencil before cutting.
  3. Embellish the bags with markers, paints, or ribbons to enhance aesthetics and let any paint or glue dry completely.
  4. Place the battery-operated tea lights or candles inside each bag, ensuring they are securely positioned.
  5. Arrange the lanterns in your desired setup—along pathways, on tables, or grouped in clusters for visual impact.

Notes

For a unique look, use colored or patterned paper bags and adjust designs for seasonal themes.
