Cocktails at sundown are more memorable when you supplement the waning daylight with Asian-inspired lanterns. The tabletop ones consist of colorful sheets of vellum paper sandwiching tall votive candles in glass holders; chopsticks hold the paper in place.
Vellum Shields How-To
You'll need 8 1/2-by-11-inch sheets of vellum paper in the color of your choice, chopsticks, and 7-day candles in glass vessels (sold at supermarkets). Sandwich the candle between 2 sheets of vellum, clipping the sheets together with 2 sets of unseparated wooden chopsticks 1 inch in from edges.
go to paperandmore.com they have great, fast service, low prices, and high quality product. i use them for any of my paper needs.
Where do I find Vellem paper?
At the top right part of the page, there is a section called "Also Try." The origami lanterns are shown there.
The lanterns on strings are under Origami Lanterns, I found a link on the same page with this how-to, under the Other Great Ideas at the bottom of the page. I plan to use both ideas for an end of summer party with friends this weekend. The directions seem straight forward, and look beautiful. I'm excited to use them.
