Instructions

1. Decorate the paper.
2. Fold the paper in half lengthwise.
3. With the fold on your right, cut from right to left, leaving 1-inch uncut at the left-hand side. Your cuts should be at 1-inch intervals.
4. Unfold the paper. This time, fold the paper into a cylinder - so the paper is standing horizontally. Staple it closed.
5. Add a thin strip of paper to the top so it can hang in your Sukkah!

Hints:

• Older kids can cut the lantern first and then decorate it. When the decoration is done, staple it closed.
• For a more vibrant Sukkah, make your lanterns in different colors and sizes.
