Tissue paper lantern

Supplies:
2 icee lids per lantern
tissue paper
scissors
pencil
glue of some sort (I used a hot glue gun)
ribbon
battery operated tea light

First cut the edge off one of the lids and then cut a piece about an inch and a half from the cut rim.
Glue the cut piece across the straw hole of the lid.
Place a ribbon of glue to the rim of the lid and press the two lids together to form a ball shape.
Place glue around top rim of tea light and press to bottom hole of "ball."

Then start placing the cut squares of tissue paper to the lamp. You can cut them into as big or small of a size as you want.
Put them on the end of a pencil apply glue and press just like in grade school. : )
It is a long process but looks super cute when done!
When done applying tissue paper or before, thread ribbon through the top hole under the little piece of lid you glued on in the beginning. Then make a bow and thread down the ribbon.
And you are done! So fun!
