Paper lanterns are really easy to create and they are perfect activity for little children. First and foremost, we chose patterned papers. We decided to go with the Crate Paper Heart Day collection because they have a great selection of red papers!
We cut the papers to 3"x4" strip. Fold a sheet of paper in half lengthwise.
Then, you'll need to cut along the folded edge. Just before my daughter cut the lines, I drew some lines as guide for her. That way she wouldn't snipped off across the paper. Tip: The number of strips will completely change the look of your lantern.
Once the cutting is done, unfold the paper. Apply some tape at the end of the paper. 
Adhered one end to the other. Tape everything from the inside so it's not visible.
Gently press the strips down by pressing both ends inward. 
Ta daa... here are your completed cute paper lanterns! I added paper crepe to create fun texture :)
Have a great Rooster Year!! Gong Xi Gong Xi!Xoxo Jessy
