fancy/silly poetry aside, this lantern is easy as pumpkin pie to make. all you need are some simple household items. you might even have them all in your cupboards right now!
as well as tissue paper, parchment baking paper, a round cheese-triangle box and scissors, you’ll also need a ruler, some spray adhesive, some glue and/or staples, a bit of paint, and a candle or light.
as you can see, i decorated my lantern with spooky bats! orange leaves and creeeepy parchment ghouls!
