Prepare the Lantern Frame: Start by cleaning the plastic lantern frames if they are not new.
Attach the Petals: Use the glue to secure cherry blossom petals to the lantern frame, covering as much area as you like.
Add Tea Lights: Once the petals are dry, place the battery-operated tea lights inside each lantern.
Display Your Lanterns: Arrange your lanterns on a table or hang them up to create a lovely atmosphere.
Create the Base: Place a piece of wax paper or a plastic sheet on a flat surface.
Mix Glue and Color: In a small bowl, combine clear glue with a few drops of food coloring. Use a paintbrush to apply the glue mixture to the wax paper.
Let It Dry: Allow the glue to dry completely before peeling it off the paper.
Hang Your Suncatchers: Use tape or string to hang the suncatchers in windows to catch the light.
