Make a Bunting Paper Lantern

I was surfing around Pinterest (which, by the way, is highly addictive) when I came across this idea that made me gasp a little. Combining two things I really like, buntings and paper lanterns, is GENIUS, and it's a great stashbusting opportunity to boot! Kirsty from You Had Me At Bonjour even found a hanging lamp kit for her lantern at IKEA with a turquoise cord that matched her bunting perfectly. (Reason #1,492 why IKEA is awesomesauce.) Dollar Tree has paper lanterns in their seasonal section right now... What are you waiting for?? [how to make a bunting paper lantern]

Project estimate:

Paper lantern, $1 and up
Scrap fabric, on hand
Sewing machine, on hand
Hot glue, on hand

Total: $1 and up
