Add a touch of whimsy to your next celebration or nursery with these paper hot air balloon lanterns by Craft and Creativity. This fun crafting adventure transforms standard 20 cm paper lanterns into charming floating decorations using a vibrant tropical theme featuring pineapples, flamingos, and golden watermelons.
To create these, you will decorate the lanterns using decoupage paper and lacquer. Then, attach paper mache pen holders to serve as the balloon baskets. The baskets are finished with patterned washi tape and connected to the “balloons” using colorful baker’s twine. These adorable lanterns are perfect for baby showers, birthday parties, or as unique decor for patios and classrooms. They are simple to assemble and make a heartfelt handmade gift for children!
