Bald-Eagle Tissue Paper Lanterns

Choose the blue or red eagle clip art, and print — both sides of the head and 2 copies of each wing — onto heavyweight paper. 

Set your printer's margins to zero (or as narrow as possible). For a 9-inch bell, choose the small eagle clip art. Print the wing pieces (2 per sheet) twice, and head pieces (2 per sheet) once. For an 11-inch bell, choose the medium eagle clip art. Print each wing piece (1 per sheet) twice and each head piece (1 per sheet) once.

Cut out pieces; using spray adhesive, glue heads and wings in pairs, back to back, to make double-sided.

Open bell, and secure it with double-sided tape. Attach one wing with hot glue, pressing the tabs between layers of tissue, below. Repeat with second wing. Hot-glue the head in place, pressing it into the layers of tissue at the rounded center of the bell.

Punch a small hole in top of head, and hang with twine or monofilament.
