    LOVE these! I’m not the craftiest person in the world, but I just have to give these a try. I’ve got some Anna Griffin paper I think will work great. Thanks!

    If I may offer a suggestion – It’s very critical that the paper is double sided. Mine wasn’t and I found it was difficult to make the circles look seamless on the edges. Here’s my fail:

    wow.. it's so cute.. how to make it?

  26. N.k. May 4, 2014 at 10:56 am

    aku pernah bikin lampion ini waktu SD. gampang koq bikinnya..hehe

    buat beberapa lingkaran di kertas berwarna trs gunting kertas itu mengikuti pola lingkaran yg sudah dibentuk, terus dari kertas bentuk lingkaran itu, lipat tiga bagian sisinya biar jadi segi tiga. Lakukan hal yg sama buat kertas yg lain.
    Terus klo udah banyak, tinggal susun kertas segitiga itu supaya membentuk bola besar, rekatkan dengan lem..hehe
