Step 2: Place your lantern in a large bowl. The bowl will help keep the lantern in place while you are painting. Step 3: If you wish, use a pencil to mark and design the areas you wish to paint. Use caution when marking the lantern with a pencil. The paper is very thin and can easily rip. |
|
Step 4: Begin painting your design. Allow the paint to dry in one area before you begin working on another area. Step 5: Continue painting until you are finished with your lantern. |

Step 6: Hang your beautiful work of art!
