    Very nice! I never would have guessed they were coffee filters if you hadn't said something.

    About 45 mins :/ a little time consuming but its super easy, it just takes a while scrunching up the coffee filters and hot glueing them to the ball! but for a total oh under $4 i think it's worth it! wine helps lol

    So you just buy the plain paper lanterns (hobby lobby has that set of 3 in the wedding section), get a thing of coffee filters, scrunch and glue the bottom all over that lantern! looks like a coral, i love the effect! Glad yall like it Smiley smile

    Oh wow, those look great! Time consuming, but great! Maybe you could try selling these after your wedding, I'm sure you won't need 50 paper lanterns ever again haha!!
