Look!: Craft Store Paper Lanterns

look-paperglobes-1.jpgLanterns add a playful element to any nursery, and we love how they look when clustered together. So imagine how excited we were to find plain, inexpensive paper lanterns to decorate any way we choose.

We found the lanterns at our local Michael's and they were totally inexpensive. We purchased a couple lanterns, added some foam shapes and stickers to the mix and went home and decorated them.

Our son had fun bringing his fish-themed lantern to fruition. We let him go nuts with the stickers -- at only $2.00 a lantern, we figured he could decorate it any way he saw fit.

Once the lanterns were done, we hung them up in his play room where he proudly announces to everyone that he decorated the cool lanterns.
