Paper mache lanterns

Children made  pressed flower lanterns which are the perfect addition to a warm summer’s eve. They are easy and cost almost nothing to make, plus one can use them to preserve your favorite summer flowers even after the blooms have passed. 

They prepared magical balloon lanterns with simple materials like balloon, tissue paper, white glue, water, a string or wire for the handle and a tea light. They prepared the tissue by cutting into strips and made glue and water paste with a 4 parts glue and 1 part water ratio. After blowing the balloon to the desired size it was first covered with the paste and then tissue paper strips were put on it. Children continued the process till they had 3-4 layers of tissue layers. After drying, it was decorated.
