Paper Lanterns are so beautiful and yet surprisingly very inexpensive. That is why they have become a hot wedding décor item. They can make a reception tent, barn or any ceiling instantly eye-catching, especially when hung in clusters in a mix of different sizes, shapes, and colors more a more awe-inspiring look.
Paper Lanterns DIY Ideas:
- Hang ornate ribbons or plastic crystals of different lengths from the lower metal ring
- Glue on artificial flowers or paper butterflies
- Embellish with pearl or jewels brads
- Use shaped paper punches to create a unique design
- Cluster the lanterns with hanging paper flowers and pom poms
