About the Paper Lantern

A paper lantern is a lantern built from thin, brightly colored paper. A light inside makes the whole lantern glow softly, casting warm color into the room. Some are simple paper bags, while others stretch paper over a folding bamboo or wire frame. Color this paper-lantern shape for a party and imagine it glowing among a string of others.

A light inside makes the colored paper glow softly.
Some lanterns fold flat around a bamboo or wire frame.
