🌻🌼🌿 Pressed Botanical Lanterns 🌿🌼🌻

So you remember Lily's precious white balloon from the other day well it was losing some of its air and we wanted to make the most of it so we decided to take the opportunity to make these paper mache pressed leaf and flower lanterns and they turned out pretty good!
All you need
Balloon (we don't get balloons often unless they are gifted to us so we took the opportunity to make something else with it you could also use a plastic bowl or container!
Tissue paper
Water
Gloopy glue
Pressed flowers or leaves
Mix equal parts water and glue and tear the tissues dipping it in your mix and popping it on the balloon
After you have done one layer you can dip your botanicals in the mix and press them onto the balloonΒ 
You can either put another another layer of tissue on the balloon or leave as is, Lily kind of got a little undecided and did half another layer and half not πŸ˜…
Leave to dry for 24hours and peel off!
We used battery operated candles for these ones because obviously the paper πŸ’
We enjoyed watching our lantern flicker as the sun went down 🌞🌜
