We have made a few of these today and they look really nice
But ............
When we paint them they collapse into a heap and look rubbish
What am I doing wrong?
How is everyone else making theirs - I dont remember having this problem last year
We have made some with paper and some with card
Then we have painted them - this is when they seem to collapse
So we had another go and painted the card / paper BEFORE making the lantern if you know what I mean
We waited for them to dry then cut out the lantern
That still did not work
They are fine till we get the paint to them
Maybe we will just have to decorate them or leave them white
Ideas needed please
