The easiest and coolest DIY decoration at Camila's Under The Sea party was the Lantern Jellyfish. They hung from the ceiling giving our party that under the sea feeling I was trying to achieve. Another huge thank you to Oriental Trading who sponsored this post! All opinions expressed are 100% my own.
What you'll need:
- Streamers - I got mine here
- Lantern - I got an assorted pack of pink lanterns here
- Clear Tape -from the dollar store
- Fishing Wire - from my hubby's tackle box haha
- Scissors - from Michael's
Step 1: "Build" your lantern
Most lanterns come with a square metal wire that holds it up to give it shape, follow the instructions on the package to build it!
Step 2: Cut & Scrunch
Cut various sizes of streamers, the length you think will fit your Jellyfish then scrunch them up to get that tentacle effect. I cut and scrunched all of the streamers before I started to do everything else so that they would stay scrunched, when you unravel the scrunched up balls they straighten out a little bit so keep them scrunched until the very last minute.
3: Tape & Unravel
Since I didn't have double sided tape I just made a little tape loop so it wouldn't show, then I placed it on one side of the unraveled streamer.
4: Atattch the tentacles
I used the 3rd ring from the bottom of the lanter to keep my tentacles in lin, so just pick a spot and line them up right next to each other until you go all the way around.
5: Hang it up
I used the fishing wire to hand my jellyfish from the ceiling to give it that floating in mid-air effect!
Here's the final product! I absolutely love them! To see the rest of the party decorations click here, and to see all the sweet treats click here.
