Making Lanterns from Milk Jugs!

Running short of time and idea to make lanterns for the festival?

Beautiful lanterns, or bizarre ones if it is the way you want, can be made quickly.

What you need:

Rinse the milk jug and remove label.

Cut opening that is big enough to put  a tea light candle, or a LED one, in.

Cut more shape for your own design.

Give color and patterns to the milk jug by either gluing colored tissue paper or paint.

Here is a collection of what people do with their milk jugs. Start your creativity now!
