Little Rolled Paper Lamp Lanterns
"If you have coloring pages, an older book, newspaper or magazine that you are not using anymore,you can put your paper to use to create a rolled, paper lamp lantern. To make one, all you need is about 10-15 minutes, 6-7 paper rolls, two necklace chains with a pendant, scissors, a stapler and an LED candle. You can hang these up for story-time with young children or just as an eccentric touch for yourself if you love to read."
Primary TechniquePaper Crafts
Materials List
- 1 LED Light ( per Lantern)
- Paper
- Scissors
- Stapler
- Two Necklace Chains ( 1 w/ Pendant)
Instructions
-
Create 6-7 Paper Rolls: You can either cut your paper in half to make small rolls or keep it the same size for larger rolls. I cut mine in half and rolled them in until they looked like a toilet paper roll. Staple once finished.
-
Staple each roll, in a circular sort of shape, to one another until you form a circle- this is your "lamp shade".
-
Insert 1 roll in the center middle
-
Put 1 necklace chain into the center,pendant down the center, cut a very small slit on each side to hold the necklace in place.
-
Use your second necklace as a rope chain - one clasp should go on one side and the other, on the other side.
-
Insert your LED candle light into the center roll where the pendant is and you are done.
