Halloween ~ Paper Lanters

I know... I know!! Halloween is only on the 31st of October... But in the midst of all my Diwali planning and preperations... The girlies & I decided to do some Halloween craft... These are simple things, that we can make and keep.... ready for Halloween celebrations... *smiles*



Now isn't this spooky?? 3D lanterns *smiles*...



Its simple to make as well... We drew ghosts, witches and pumpkins on white or orange paper.. Cut them out!! We used old jars for the candle holders... wrapped them around with the paper... and then stuck the cut out of the witch, ghost or pumpkin on top of it... And viola... is our 3D lantern...



My girlies think... these are very pretty!! What do you think??



Do you remember the tutorial for the above paper lanterns?? We made these for Yva's Alice in Wonderland birthday party... If you haven't seen the party pics... here is Part1 and Part2.. We had a lovely time... *smiles*..

So the girlies made these lanterns... in orange paper and drew pumpkin faces on them... What do you think??




So tell me what you think of our 3D lanterns and the simply paper lanterns??
