Kite Paper Pleated Summer Lanterns | DIY

Do you have empty jars of pasta sauces lying around? Here’s an idea! Turn them into romantic lanterns in no-time with pleated kite paper shades to softly illuminate the dinner table on a Summer night.

1. Fold the kite paper into an accordion. You can adjust and vary the width of the folds to your liking.
2. Wrap it around the jars and secure the ends with double-sided tape. Place a tea light candle in each jar and enjoy, ideally with a glass of very cold Pinot Grigio.
