Set the Mood with Paper Lanterns
An easy way to add atmosphere to a room is to hang paper lanterns. Paper lanterns come in an infinite number of shapes, colors, and patterns, making it easy to bring a unique element to your personal space. Paper lanterns can be a source of mood-lighting if you want to purchase a light to go inside of one, or they can be hung for decorative purposes alone. Lanterns come in a variety of materials, making some posh enough to hang in a dining area; more commonly, paper lanterns adorn bedrooms, dorm rooms, or casual living spaces, and are even popular for weddings and outdoor parties.
Cool project idea: to get multiple looks from the same lantern, tape a thin sheet of colored tissue paper along the inside of the lantern so that colored light reflects out.
Or for the more academically minded here’s a school project idea: mini-paper lanterns make great alternatives to the standard Styrofoam planet model: take white mini-paper lanterns and paint them the desired color for each planet to create a chic model of the solar system. This is one project you may hang on to (and hang) long after you get your A+.
Another Holiday-themed idea: mini-paper lanterns are great string lights for parties. As opposed to stringing traditional Christmas lights around the house, paper lanterns won’t look tacky on December 26th; they can serve as decor for New Years and well after.
You can find paper lanterns at local stores, like the Junkman’s Daughter’s Brother if you live in downtown Athens, or various mall and online retailers, like Earthbound Trading Company, Wrapables, Hometown Evolution, and Om Gallery.
