How about making some Chinese lanterns to hang around the room and add to the festive occasion when you are done? To make the paper crafts each guest should have a plastic container that contains scissors, glue, tape and similar craft items. And to make the lanterns fancy, supply the guests with glitter or sequins and some glue to affix it to the lanterns. The guests at the party can make a homemade handle out of various pieces of construction paper. They can make it as fancy and different as they like. The remaining part of the paper can be vertically folded in half. Next, have them draw a 'stop' line about one inch from each end of the sheet. This is where they will stop cutting. You guests should next measure and mark some lines about one inch apart. These will be the cutting lines. They should begin from the fold in the paper. The part guests will then unfold the sheet of paper and then fold it again without allowing the pencil markings to show. Then they will need to match the long edges of the page together and tape it together. Use the stapler to affix the handles of the lanterns, and then glue the glittery finishing touches on.
