Paper Mache Lanterns With P for Personality
Paper Mache Lanterns With "P" for Personality!
You know who else gets a "P" for Personality? My lantern spokesmodel...
And here's a spokesmodel with a lot less "P" but a steadier hand:
Aren't they freaking cute? Easy too. And cheap to create.
Otto and I found ourselves invited to a St. Martin's Day celebration last month and needed to come up with a couple of lanterns for the moonlit procession. The instructions I found online were not really what I was looking for. The best ones I found were written in German but with handy illustrations. I cobbled together a few sets of instructions and magically our lanterns turned out super-cute! So I thought I'd share this easy craft project.
All you need is:
- Balloons (word on the street is cheap dollar store balloons don't work as well. We used a $2.50 bag from Target with excellent results)
- Lots and lots of colorful & patterned gift tissue paper cut into approximately 1" strips
- White glue (like Elmer's or whatever)
- Bowl of water
- String/yarn
- Some kind of mess catcher like a pile of old newspaper
All you do is:
Step 1 - Blow up balloon and suspend it from the ceiling over your "mess catcher" using the string. I used our ceiling fan. Here, see...
Step 2 - You'll be dipping the paper strips into a watery glue mixture. Add about 1 TBSP for each cup of water.
Step 3 - One by one dip the strips into the glue/water mixture and then paste them onto the balloon. Leave space at the top so you can put your hand in later (to insert an LED light or to reshape the lantern if needed).
Step 4 - This is the "keep going" step and it takes a little time. You'll want at least 6 layers of tissue paper covering the entire balloon from the neck down. Go quite a bit heavier at the neck and on the bottom since these areas will support the lantern's structure later. Feel free to smooth the exterior with your fingers or leave it lumpy. I'm lazy so went with lump city and they're still insanely cute:
Step 5 - Allow to dry 24 hours
Step 6 - Pop balloon, then peel away the balloon if any sticks to the inside of the lantern and reshape if needed by putting your hand inside and gently pushing out.
Side note - these guys retain their shape super well. If you pop the balloon & the sides of the lantern collapse in, they'll go right back out with a gentle push. A (unsupervised) monster kid stepped on and basically SMASHED one of ours at the event we attended and after stopping myself from throwing a bowl of soup at him I was able to reshape it in 2 seconds.
Step 7 - Use a nail to poke holes on either side of the neck, then tie string or yarn to create a handle
Step 8 - Feel free to embellish by gluing glitter, adding stickers, etc. Then drop in an LED light or similar (not a lit candle obviously as it's a paper lantern)
Step 9 - Go about your moolit procession
Hope you find this fun! We totally did. Let me know if you have any paper mache pointers to share as I'd like to do this craft again when Otto gets a little bigger and can participate more actively. Thanks for reading!

Check out these Christmas images from around the world.
Check out these Christmas images from around the world.
What is your experience of Christmas? Is everything is covered in snow, where fairylit houses secure their occupants, huddled around a open fire watching… well, Eastenders probably. We here at LP headquarters in Melbourne should be lazing on our cabanas by the pool, sipping champagne and swatting flies while the menfolk rustle up another shrimp to throw on the barbie but it’s unseasonably cold and wet here this year. With most of Europe snowed under, 2010 brings everyone a very unusual Christmas.
Our trusty photographers have captured some great images of Christmas from around the globe. Even Oprah’s branching out and laying low in Fiji. Where will you be spending it? And if you’re stuck somewhere, how are you going to make the most of this Christmas?

Christmas, American style. Those skies are very blue but the temperatures must be freezing!
Annaberg-Bucholz, Sachsen State, Germany.
Deck your halls with everything imaginable from these markets dedicated entirely to Christmas-related paraphernalia. Only in Germany!
Rockefeller Center, Manhattan, New York. (Michael Taylor)
Who hasn’t dreamed of skating under that gigantic Christmas tree at the Rockefeller Center?
Times Square, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong Island. (Michael Coyne)
This incredible shot was taken while Christmas shoppers flooded the centre of Hong Kong, reflected in the mirrored red and green tiles.
Champs-Elysees, Paris (Jean-Pierre Lescourret)
A very beautiful Parisian Christmas on the Champs-Elysees.
Orchard Road, Singapore (Kevin Clougston)
Lack of snow is the only giveaway that this is not a European Christmas. Singaporeans like to dazzle with elaborate, colourful lighting.

Farolitos, or paper lanterns, decorate Canyon Road on Christmas Eve in America’s southwest.

Where it all supposedly started won’t feature too much of the glitz and glamour of many other places.

How to Make Paper Lanterns
The days here in the north are growing shorted. By dinner time the outdoors are immersed in complete darkness, and when we wake in the morning the sun is still nowhere to be seen. And the days are growing shorter still.
To celebrate the light that shines within each of us (even during these darkest days) the children and I made paper lanterns and carried them out into the darkness for a bedtime walk. The lanterns represent the brightness we bring to the dark, and the positive effect our bright spirits bring.
The process of making the lanterns is more simple than you might imagine. We loosely interpreted the pattern for Martinmas lanterns from this lovely book (another recommended read) as our jumping off point. I have shared our version of the lanterns below.
Supplies
Watercolor paints
Watercolor paper (ours is approximately 14" x 20", purchased here)
Ruler
Scissors
Pencil
Craft knife
Cutting mat or board
Kite or tissue paper
Glue stick
White glue
5 spring-type clothespins per lantern
Yarn or wire for handle
Hole punch (optional)
Fireproofing spray (optional)
Instructions
1. Create a simple watercolor painting. Allow to dry completely. (You will have enough paper for two lanterns from each piece of paper.)
2. On the back of your painting carefully mark the following measurements with pencil and a straight edge:
?Divide the painting in half with a horizontal line. To simplify, you may cut your paper into these two long thin strip now. (Our strips were 7 1/2" tall and almost 20" long)
?Parallel to your original cut mark two lines: one 1/2 inch down from the top and a second line 2" up from the bottom. These will form the top lip and the bottom of the lantern.
?Perpendicular to your original line, begin at the left and measure in 1". Mark line. This will be an overlapping piece used to form the lantern during the final steps of the project.
?From this 1" mark, measure five 3 1/2" panels and mark. These will be the five window panels.
?Cut off any excess after your last 3 1/2" panel.
3. Score all lines using a straight edge. (This will make folding your lantern easier.)
4. Cut tabs for the top and bottom of your lantern by cutting all lines above and below your two long horizontal lines. (Confused? See two photos below for a visual of where you cut.) These tabs will overlap and form the bottom and the top lip of the lantern when you glue the lantern together.
5. With a pencil, draw the shapes you desire for windows on the back of your paper strip. Think simple forms - circles, stars, even rectangular "windows".
6. Use a craft knife (X-acto type) to carefully cut out the windows.
7. Flip over your painting and admire your work! Add additional details if desired with hole punch or craft knife. I used a small circular hole punch to embellish ours.
8. Cut kite paper windows the size of your main panels. Glue into place with glue stick and smooth.
(Note: the next step requires a teeny bit of patience. At least it did for me. The lantern has a propensity to spring open while you are encouraging it to stay closed. Hang tight! You are almost done, and you are smarter than the glue.)
9. Fold your lantern carefully into shape, creasing each scored line firmly. Observe where the flaps overlap on the top, side, and bottom. Apply a thin layer of white glue on each overlapping point, then refold the lantern pressing the glued panels together. (These will be triangles of glue on one end of each flap.) Be consistent with the end you glue (all on the left, for example) so that you can neatly close one flap after another and end up with a firm secure bottom.
10. Use a clothespin at each overlapping point on the top of the lantern to hold the tabs together until the glue is set. Before the glue is all the way dry remove the clothespins. (This way you don't accidentally tear the lantern when you remove the clips).
10. Cover the hole in the bottom of your lantern with a scrap of watercolor paper approximately the size of the base of your lantern. Secure with more glue.
11. Punch two holes in the lantern's top rim and string through some wire or wool yarn. Knot yarn securely and add a tea light candle, securing to the bottom with poster putty (if you, like me, lack poster putty gum will work in a pinch, and adds a minty smell to the whole event.) (One thought: for those of you with young children or a concern of you little one holding a paper box with fire inside, battery powered tea lights are a good choice. I believe that the responsibility of holding a lantern with a candle inside is wonderful for a child, but perhaps that should wait until they are 4 or 5.
12. You are done! Now just wait for nightfall and take your lantern with you to spread a bit of light into the darkness.

Star Paper Lanterns
The Victorians were really into Christmas, which is not actually stunning as a result of the Victorians had been very non secular, and Christmas is a religious festival. However, most Victorians did not have numerous cash to spend on Christmas trimmings like people do today, as an alternative they discovered cheap methods to decorate their homes. They might make garlands and wreaths from evergreens resembling ivy and yew; sprigs of holly would be used because their vivid scarlet berries would so as to add a splash of colour.
The Victorians also made Christmas [decorations] akin to popcorn tinsel, which was popcorn threaded on to a piece of thread, in much the identical approach that children thread up pasta today.
Re-cycling bits of paper and card had been widespread follow when making Christmas trimmings. Victorian houses would have been adorned with paper chains and paper lanterns, which had been fast, low cost and simple to make.
How to make paper chains…

Battery Operated Paper Lanterns
The Mid-Autumn Festival, often known as the Moon Festival and the Chinese Paper Lanterns Festival, is held on the fifteenth day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar. This usually occurs round late September or early October when the moon is supposedly at its fullest and roundest.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is the most important competition within the Chinese calendar, aside from the Chinese New Year and Winter Solstice (often known as Dongzhi Competition), and is a nationwide holiday in some countries.
Traditionally, throughout the Mid-Autumn Competition, farmers have fun the end of the summer season harvesting season on this date. Chinese language relations and pals gather to admire the bright mid-autumn harvest moon, and enjoy moon truffles and pomelos together.
Overthrow of Mongolian rule
According to Chinese folklore, the Moon Pageant commemorates an rebellion in China against the Mongolian rulers of the Yuan Dynasty (1280-1368) in the 14th century. Group gatherings had been forbidden by the Mongolian rulers and it was not possible to orchestrate a rebellion.
As the Mongolians did not partake within the consuming of moon muffins, the rebel leaders came up with the idea of timing the revolt to coincide with the Moon Festival. They distributed thousands of moon desserts to the Chinese residents in the metropolis and cleverly inserted inside every moon cake a chunk of paper with the message: “Kill the Mongolians on the fifteenth day of the 8th month.”
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Pageant, the rebels successfully attacked and overthrew the Mongolian government. Following the overthrow of the Mongolian authorities was the establishment of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). As a result of the successful revolt, the Mid-Autumn Pageant was celebrated with moon desserts on a nationwide level.

9-11 Memorial Floating Lanterns Ceremony
9-11 Memorial Floating Lanterns Ceremony
On Saturday, from 6 to 9 pm, the New York Buddhist Church on Riverside Drive, Manhattan, will be holding its annual 9-11 Memorial Floating Lanterns Ceremony. The NYBC is a Jodo Shinshu temple established in 1938. The ceremony will be both Buddhist and interfaith. Before the many lanterns representing the dead are floated out on the Hudson River, a series of interfaith prayers will be led by the Interfaith Center of New York. Food will be provided by the local Sikh community.
The NYBC is led by the Rev. T.K. Nakagaki. At Huffington Post, Matthew Weiner and the Rev. Chloe Breyer write that after 9/11, the Rev. Nakagaki noticed that Buddhists had been left out of the city's memorial service at Yankee Stadium. So the next year he organized the first 9/11 floating lantern ceremony, and it has been held every year since. Hundreds of people attend.
