Lantern Supply List: 1 toilet paper roll, paint, hole punch, glue, ribbon or string, tissue paper, utility knife
Paint your toilet paper roll and allow to dry.
Using your utility knife cut slits around the toilet paper roll.
Squeeze your toilet paper roll so that the cut pieces bend outward. Use your hole punch to put 2 holes in the top of your toilet paper roll. Add ribbon or string.
Cut your tissue paper into strips. I let Cole do this part independently so his pieces were jagged and uneven, but he loves cutting and it's his craft, so I don't mind.
Glue your tissue paper around the inside bottom of your toilet paper roll.

This looks fun, and easy too. I have a couple of kids that just might enjoy it :D Thanks for a great idea.
I can't wait to read Lin Yi's Lantern. My Little M will love making lanterns.
