Baked a cake on school holidays? Let your child add a personalised touch to the cake with DIY Cake Toppers made exclusively from Paper Straws. Wondering how? Here’s an IDEA!

  1. Gift Baskets:

  Cellophane Bags

Cookies, Candies and Cupcakes are usually wrapped in Cellophane Wrappers or in a Gift Basket. Instead of purchasing them from the store, make your own DIY Gift Basket made out of Cellophane Bags and Curling Ribbons to make your gifts extra special.

DIY Paper lanterns and lamps are a stylish and elegant addition to any house or party. Get your kids involved and have a fun time making Paper Lanterns together!

 

Step 1: Take a Paper Roll and cut off a paper with 9" by 12" measurements.

 

Step 2: Fold the sheet of paper lengthwise in half.

 

Step 3: Draw a line across the length of the folded paper leaving ½" from the open edge.

 

Step 4: Along this line, make marks at an interval of  ½" and start drawing lines straight to the folded edge.

 

Step 5: From the folded edge to the original marked line, cut on these lines. Remember that both layers of paper should be cut through. Next, open the paper completely flat.

 

 

Step 6: With the cut strips running vertically, form a cylindrical shape by bringing the edges together.

 

Step 7:  Using tape or staples, secure a handle to one end of the lantern.

 

Voila! Now, your DIY Paper Lantern is ready to be hanged.
