As a kid, I remember those hot summer nights chasing fireflies, eating juicy watermelon slices and sharing meals outside with only the glow of lanterns in our backyard. The flickering lights always made me feel like I was a part of something magical.
With the Fall season quickly approaching, I have decided my kids and I need to create our own magic and hold on to summer as long as we can. So, I searched for some fun ways to make our own summer lanterns. Here are great lantern ideas for you to Take On The Creative with your kids and make the magic.

TIN CAN LANTERN
Have your kids draw their own design on an old coffee can. Then you can use a hammer and nail to make the holes. Pick an evening to lay in your backyard with a blanket and admire the "designer" glow.
GLASS VASE LANTERNS
With colored tissue paper and glue, your kids will have a blast decorating their glass vase. Such a fun project and always so beautiful.
