So beautiful on a birthday table to make one celebrating feel special! Originally I was using my daughter's wet-on-wet watercolors from school, rubbed down with vegetable oil. Lately we have switched to cutting and folding the star all the way on plain white drawing paper, and then unfolding and coloring it with oil pastels, then rubbing it with baby oil. This yields a really beautiful transparent look that we love and is much easier!! Thanks for this wonderful tutorial.

To make the rainbow I used the wet-on-wet watercolor technique explained here: http://passengersonalittlespaceship.blogspot.com/2011/08/painting-day.html and just laid the color down in pie wedge shapes (triangles with the points in the middle of the page) around the square paper. It seemed to work best to begin with yellow and then work around (orange, red, violet, blue, green, then back to yellow) letting the colors overlap and pool into one another. To blur the color edges I lifted the paper while still wet and sort of tilted it around. Luckily, even a hideous paint job is often hidden within the folds of the lovely finished lantern :)dionnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09497484383187301021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976159762979195465.post-40802109742136193342012-03-01T18:20:34.563-08:002012-03-01T18:20:34.563-08:00thank you for posting! i just saw these lanterns t...thank you for posting! i just saw these lanterns today and i was wondering how you make the paper rainbow?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976159762979195465.post-76467003110649448222012-02-24T22:53:56.167-08:002012-02-24T22:53:56.167-08:00Ah Anonymous, how I have been tormented by your si...Ah Anonymous, how I have been tormented by your simple request. You were not the first nor the last to make it. I've never made or posted a craft video before but after 3 1/2 hours of frustrating arguments with my computer and the internet I've finally done it! My first video!

I was worried it would still be too hard, but just sat down with a sheet of scrap book paper and was able to make a paper lantern! I too was surprised when it just fel into the right shape, thanks for taking the time to put this tutorial together!! How fun- can't wait to make some with my kids! :) AprilApril's Homemakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839044050318217592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976159762979195465.post-49617364552953114232011-10-21T08:29:16.840-07:002011-10-21T08:29:16.840-07:00these are simply beautiful, thank you for sharing ...these are simply beautiful, thank you for sharing a tutorial.Lori annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02860428306713379828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976159762979195465.post-62036396950378022092011-10-21T08:02:44.618-07:002011-10-21T08:02:44.618-07:00They're fantastic, thanks for reposting the tu...They're fantastic, thanks for reposting the tutorial :)pinkundinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04994450142485371131noreply@blogger.com
