Shop Links

Paper lanterns can cost as little as a dollar each and they come in a variety of colors and geometric shapes.
A full lantern display with good quality lighting can cost under $100!
If you're just getting started, check out the Paper Lantern Store or Amazon for
simple, inexpensive, colorful paper lanterns.

If you're ready to expand your collection to include some fancier lanterns such as those seen below,
here are some links for where to shop. I always recommend you do your shopping early, as many of of
these items sell out during the summer months and some drop ship from overseas.

I've ordered lanterns from all of the companies below, and I've never been disappointed!
