A tabletop paper lantern is a simple and elegant way to add an extra touch of light to any room. This project is easy to follow and requires only a few supplies. All you need is some sturdy paper, a small jar or container, some hot glue, and a lightbulb. The tabletop paper lantern is a type of lantern made out of a thin sheet of paper with a usually round hole in the center, often fitted with a handle.
Here are some tips for making a tabletop paper lantern:
1. Decide on your design. There are many different types of lanterns you can make, from simple designs with just a lightbulb or candle inside, to more complicated creations with fake flowers or even small figurines. The sky's the limit!
2. Create your template. First, cut out your desired shape from the paper – this could be anything from a simple square to something more elaborate like a starburst pattern. Once you have your template cut out, use scissors to cut out along the lines of the template. Make sure that the cuts are smooth and even – if not, you can fix them with tape later on.
3. Add your light source and fill up the holes with rice or other filler material. Now it's time to add your decoration! You can use things like glitter glue or hot glue guns to attach glitter or other decorations to the lantern; alternatively, you could try using small pieces of fake flowers or figurines. Just be sure not to cover up any of the light sources!
