Milk cartons can make very pretty lanterns! Rinse out an empty milk carton and then cut off the top of the carton. To make the pyramid roof, simply cut four triangle shapes into the top of the carton. It is up to you to decide what kind of pattern you would like for your lantern but you will need a cutting blade in order to cut it out as a scissors will not work. Once you have cut out your pattern, use acrylic paint to design the lantern.
Please note: do not use a real candle in the lantern as the carton is flammable. Instead use an LED tea light.
