We made two kinds of lanterns. The first kind were just simple tubes – either cylindrical or square in cross-section, and layered with a contrasting color of paper on the outside. The kids cut fancy edges with my fancy-edge scissors and went crazy with the hole punchers.<\/span><\/p>\n

The second kind was made with slits cut into an outer layer which was then stuck onto an inner tube (black) that was shorter so the slit part popped out. We used the regular 9″ x 12″ sheets of construction paper. We cut the black into three equal strips 3″ x 12″. We cut the orange into two equal strips 4.5″ x 12″. On the orange strips, we marked out a 0.75″ band on either edge, and cut vertical strips about 0.75″ apart in the region between those outer bands. Then we put glue on those outer bands lined them up with the long edges of a black strip and stuck them on so the middle region of cut slits popped out. <\/span><\/p>\n
