Supplies Used in this Christmas Candy Decorations DIY:
- Red paper lanterns
- Plastic cellophane (clear)
- Twine
This project is so simple! First open and make the lantern. You can always paint the lantern if you want to add swirls or other effects to it.
Cut a piece of the plastic so that it is at least four inches longer than the lantern on each end. It should also be about to fit all the way around the lantern and overlap slightly.
Wrap the lantern with the cellophane. Twist the ends and tie them with a bit of twine. You can also use twist ties instead, or small rubber bands.
Glue a small loop of twine to the bag of the “candy”. Now you can hang them on a tree, make a banner with them, or set them on a mantle for decor. I hope you’ll enjoy all twelve of my family friendly crafts! See the list below for all of the projects.
