This is a really fun idea to reinvent the classic chinese lantern as a decorative piece for a child’s room. Making this lantern hot air balloon requires just a few items you probably already have around the house.
Supplies:
- Chinese lantern (any size will do)
- Scissors
- Yarn or string
- Empty small box
- Tape and glue or stapler
Tape up the edges so it’s sturdy
Make the sides as pretty as possible, use rolls of tape to hold in place
Cut 6 pieces of yarn or string about 10 inches long each
Take three and tie them into a knot at one end and attach it to the middle of one inside of the basket using a stapler or glue/tape
Attach the other ends to the inside of the botom of the lantern. Using a stapler is the most secure way.
Hang with string, evenly distribute with zoo animals and enjoy!
