# How to Add Lights to Round Homemade Paper Lanterns
Paper lanterns add a touch of whimsy to home or party decor. Alone, paper lanterns are attractive, but when illuminated they make an eye-catching statement. If you've made your own paper lanterns, adding lights to them is a fairly simple task that is sure to yield dramatic results. Suspend your illuminated homemade paper lanterns from a ceiling, set them on tabletops or use them in any other way that you find visually appealing.
