Paper Lanterns

Diwali is around the corner and what can be better than an easy decorating Naisha idea. To make stylish paper lanterns you will need :
1) any handmade printable paper. I used 24 lb parchment paper in antique gold.
2) print any picture of your choice and cut it out.
3) Glue the ends to-gather. and if you want Naisha touch do some embroidery or attach some lace or crystal to hide the join. I added the cross stitch and small tassels in the coordinating color
4) you can use it as is with a tea light candle
5) I wanted to go one step more and I added a cardboard base and wooden feet to make it not just a lantern but a nice paper lamp.

                                                               I added tassel and ghungroo

                                    used as is over the tea light candles

added wooden feet to decorate my stairs
