There are lots of ways to dress up plain paper lanterns, but this is a really fun and easy idea – glitter!

These would be pretty for birthday parties, the 4th of July (think sparklers), Christmas (silver bells), New Year’s (ball drop)… and of course you could make them in any color you like. A little messy, perhaps – but so fabulous!

It’s very, very easy to make these glittered lanterns. Hop over to Two Delighted for instructions!

   They look great! However, I liked to see them with the light on!

   Can the Japanese lantern be collapsed and stored once the glitter has been applied?

     I'm not sure, but I wouldn't think it would be the best thing to do - I imagine it would knock off a lot of the glitter!
