Pressed Flower Paper Lanterns

"Make these gorgeous paper mache lanterns as a great budget-friendly DIY for parties and weddings. Made with pressed flowers and wax paper these hanging lanterns will look amazing hanging amongst the trees in your garden. Glue dried pressed flowers in between sheets of transparent paper. Make handles from some wire. Tie some jute twine to the rings and make the handle as long as you need it to be. All that’s left to do is to place an LED candle into your lantern, hang it up and enjoy your beautiful Autumn evenings under the harvest moon!"
