I've been searching high and low for paper lanterns to hang in the trees without having to spend a fortune and I ran across this link on how to make them yourself! I think they're super cute and I even got battery operated clip on lights at the dollar store to put in them! Just thought I'd share.http://blogs1.marthastewart.com/blueprint/2007/07/paper-lanterns-.html

    Ok, so follow-up on this: I tried to do this but first used white paper bags - ugly! Then I used vellum - even uglier! I'd suggest trying to go ahead and use the wallpaper because of both of the types of paper I used wrinkled to hell and looked like a kindergarten project. I couldn't find any other type of paper big enough to make the whole thing, so I broke down and ordered some off of asianideas.com for like $20! lol! This is why I don't have much DIY stuff in my wedding!
