Decorate A Paper Lantern

This pretty craft is simple for the kids to do, but will take pride of
place wherever it is displayed! Perfect for Spring or a Chinese
New Year or Japan theme.
You will need:
A round paper lantern (available cheaply from most home ware sellers)
Pink paint
Black marker pen
Instructions:
Mix the paint with an equal part of water. Dot on the paint, to make your
blossom. Paint several different trees around the lantern. When you are happy
you have enough blossom leave the paint to dry.
When the paint is dry use the black pen to draw on the branches of the trees.
Alternatively you could draw or paint Chinese calligraphy characters onto
your lantern to decorate it.
