Saturday Craft: Paper Chinese Lanterns


Mulan comes to Disney+ on September 4th! These Chinese paper lanterns are a simple and super cute craft to kick off your family’s Mulan viewing party!

You will need:

  • construction paper
  • scissors
  • pencil
  • double sided tape
  • glitter glue, paint, gems, or other decorative items.

Instructions:

    1. Cut a 1/2” strip off of the short side of your paper.
    2. Fold your paper in half, then using your extra strip as a guide draw one long 1/2” horizontal  line across the top, and many 1/2” lines vertically down leaving the space on top empty.
    3. Next, cut along all of your vertical lines.
    4. Open your paper and attach the two top corners together with double sided tape. Do the same with the two bottom corners.

5. Last, use your extra strip of paper to attach a handle. Now the kids can decorate them however they like!

Try these out and let us know how they turned out in the comments!
