Materials

A paper lantern can be made using any materials you have at home or you may want to go out and buy something you really like. Your shopping depends on what kind of lantern you want to make as well as the size of the final product. Basically the materials needed to make any paper lantern are paper, glue, paper clips, scissors, a cutter, sellotape and a stapler. Intricate designs will need several more materials depending upon the type of paper lantern that you wish to produce. To make the lantern more attractive you may opt for glitter, sequins and other decorative materials.
