If you’re looking for a fun and inexpensive way to add some Halloween decorations around your home, these little paper lanterns are such a cute find! I picked these up to use as seasonal decorations, and I immediately knew they would be adorable hanging in my tree outside.


They come decorated with cute Halloween designs like pumpkins and bats, and there are a ton of them in the package, so you can use them in lots of different places around your home.


What Do the Halloween Paper Lanterns Look Like?


The lanterns come individually wrapped, which helps keep them protected in the package.


When you open them up, they’re flat, but they have little bends and rounded sections inside that allow the paper lanterns to expand into their shape.


Once you put them together, they become these adorable little rounded lanterns with pumpkin and Halloween designs.


I think they would be especially cute for a Halloween party, fall gathering, classroom party, or just adding a little extra Halloween spirit around your house.


How to Assemble the Paper Lanterns


At first, I had to figure out exactly how the pieces were supposed to connect, but once I understood how they worked, they were really simple to assemble.


You essentially extend the lantern upward and use the little brackets to hold everything in place.


There are also two small pieces at the top that hook together.


The lanterns have a little metal component that helps hold the structure in place, which I thought was a nice detail.


Once assembled, they hold their rounded shape really well.


Where Can You Hang Halloween Paper Lanterns?


There are so many ways you could use these!


My original plan was to hang them in a tree outside, which I think is going to look so cute for Halloween.


You could also hang them:

  • In an outdoor tree

  • On a covered porch

  • Around a patio

  • Along a fence

  • Over a Halloween party table

  • In a playroom

  • In a kids' bedroom

  • Around a fireplace

  • In a dining room

  • Above a dessert or party table


Since there are so many included in the package, you can really spread them throughout your home instead of just using one or two.


Cute Halloween Decorations for Kids


I also think kids are going to love these.


The little pumpkins and bats make them feel festive without being overly scary, so they're a great option if you're decorating for a family with younger children.


My kids are going to have so much fun seeing these around the house during Halloween.


You could even let older kids help assemble them and decide where to hang them.


Can You Use the Paper Lanterns Outside?


Yes, these can be used outdoors, but there is one important thing to remember: they are made of paper.


I'm planning to use some of mine outside, but I would make sure they're in an area where they won't get wet.


For example, hanging them in a tree away from sprinklers or placing them on a covered porch would be better than putting them somewhere they'll regularly get exposed to water.


If you live somewhere with rainy fall weather, I'd recommend bringing them inside if you're expecting rain.


A Simple Way to Add Halloween Decor


What I really like about these is that they make decorating easy.


You don't have to completely transform your house to make it feel festive. Adding little touches like these Halloween paper lanterns can make a room, porch, or outdoor space feel much more seasonal.


Because they're lightweight, you can also hang several together to create a larger Halloween display.


The included string makes it easy to hang them wherever you decide to use them.


My Favorite Thing About These Halloween Lanterns


I think my favorite part is simply how cute they are once they're assembled.


When they're flat in the package, it's hard to imagine exactly what they're going to look like. But once you open them up, extend them, and hook the pieces together, they turn into these adorable little

Halloween decorations.


The pumpkin designs are perfect for fall and Halloween, and having a large quantity in the package means you can get creative with where you put them.


Final Thoughts


If you're looking for cute Halloween decorations for your home, these paper lanterns are a fun option.


They're easy to assemble, come with string for hanging, and feature adorable Halloween designs like pumpkins and bats. I especially love the idea of using them in an outdoor tree to create a fun

Halloween display, but they would also be adorable inside your home.


Just remember that they're paper, so if you use them outdoors, keep them away from sprinklers and wet weather.


These would be especially fun for Halloween parties, fall decorating, kids' spaces, porches, and outdoor Halloween displays.
