1. Can I use regular candles instead of LED tea lights?

It’s safer to use LED tea lights, especially for outdoor displays, as they don’t pose a fire hazard.

2. How long will the ghost lanterns last?

The durability of your lanterns can depend on the material used. Balloons will last only until they deflate, while plastic bags can hold up longer.

You can easily substitute white plastic bags. They will work just as well for creating ghostly figures.

Absolutely! You can create small, medium, or large lanterns depending on the size of balloons or bags you have on hand.

To store your lanterns, deflate the balloons and keep them in a cool, dry area. Plastic bags can be folded and stored flat.
