Swirls of green, purple, and gold can be seen just about anywhere for Mardi Gras. The Paper Lanterns are the perfect way to add a pop of vivid bright color to your party space without going overboard. These lanterns are made out of a thin tissue paper material and are 9.5 inches wide when fully expanded. Each lantern comes with a wire metal insert to prop the lanterns open and make hanging easy. This item comes in a pack of 18. These are great for hanging from the ceiling to brighten the room or even for placing along the floor or to your table tops for an added touch of flare. These lanterns do not light up. Be sure to get your lanterns in bulk. With something this colorful its great for using for multiple occasions!
