Using Paper Decorations for Halloween

By Cody Scholberg

Halloween is celebrated by many people, young and old alike, and is a time for costumes, pumpkins and trick or treat. In addition to these, decorations play a huge part, and for this you can use Halloween paper lanterns to add a ghostly atmosphere to your home.

Paper lanterns are made out of transparent rice paper, but some are made of tougher paper. The paper surrounds the central light source, which can be a candle, or if you have electrical wiring or a battery for it, a light bulb.

Halloween paper lanterns are the ideal way to set the right mood for the holiday, whether you?re hosting a huge costume party or just spending it with your family. Once you get hold of them, you can have them stand up from hooks in the ground, make them hang from the overhead patio or tree branches, or use them as table lamps.

Along with Jack-o-Lanterns and pumpkins, paper lanterns can add to the desired ambience. Any party will be a hit with the right atmosphere, and lighting is an important part of that.

You can simply hang Halloween paper lanterns around the bulbs in your home to have a ghostly, spooky effect for a low cost. Alternatively, you could sit them on your windowsill or mantelpiece with green, red or orange bulbs to give out a peculiar light. Such small decorations can actively add to the festive feeling of any party.

It is easiest to search for the best prices for Halloween paper lanterns online. You can sit at home while looking for a store that has the lanterns you prefer at affordable prices. Paper lanterns can be found for prices as reasonable as $2, so you wouldn?t be wasting your money.

There are lanterns in the usual designs such as circular, rectangular and cylindrical, but you can also find ones made especially for Halloween. If you?re not satisfied with the purchase, you can always add to it by drawing or painting on it to make faces and expressions, in the same way you carve a pumpkin.

After they have played their part in this holiday, you can always keep them until it?s time for their appearance next year. The money you spend on Halloween paper lanterns is well worth it, as for an economical price, they can help increase the ambience of your home many times over. - 29967
