Adding Lights to a Paper Star Lantern

Video Transcript

"Hi. I'm Melina and welcome to Expert Village. Today we're going to learn how to make a paper star lantern. In this next step, we're going to add lights to our star. So basically what you want to do is, you want get a string of Christmas lights. And they sell them usually at the dollar store. You can get one that only has ten lights on it. And you want to go ahead and put the lights inside of your star. And if you have a small one with ten lights, it should all fit perfectly. You can also use a singular light bulb hanging down. But since most people have Christmas lights lying around, or in the garage hopefully, this is a good way to go ahead and light your star. And now your star is complete and ready for hanging. This also makes a really great Christmas topper if you don't have a top to your Christmas tree. The nice thing about using the Christmas lights is that you have different pockets of light all around the star. And you can also use different color lights. You don't have to use white. You can use any color you want, or multi-colored."
