Paper Lanterns

It wasn’t a room that she would call her own for very long and no one would have faulted her had they left the walls barren for those three months, but it just wasn’t in them…

With limited supplies they put on their thinking caps and created something so simple, so sweet… so perfect that they decided these paper lanterns were something they must share with their friends!
And now, the promised tutorial!

DIY Inspiration from Traveling Mama

I am loving some of the sweet and simple DIY projects dreamed up by Traveling Mama. From darling paper garlands to cheerful paper lanterns hung in a bedroom, she uses paper to dress up ordinary spaces in unexpected ways. Likewise, a little crafting is all it takes to add a little charm to a party or celebration. The beauty of these ideas is their simplicity – perfect for even the most novice of crafters – and their budget-friendly cost. Use scraps of paper, swatches of leftover gift wrap or inexpensive scrapbook or construction paper. Beyond that all you’ll need is a little time and a few basic craft supplies like scissors and glue.
