# Star Wars Lanterns

Every party needs a main focal point. And when it comes to a *Star Wars*party, drama, and outer space are key. We have the perfect DIY decor element that has it all—a lantern inspired by the upcoming film *Solo: A Star Wars Story* out on May 25!

Your little one will be blown away by this craft, featuring none other than the “fastest ship in the galaxy” the Millennium Falcon, along with a classic X-wing and some new ships from the film, including Han’s speeder and the Imperial AT-Hauler.

Featuring only a few supplies, this craft is super easy to make! You can use it as a centerpiece at your party table or add rope and hang it from a tree or ceiling.

1. If you’re using the lantern as a centerpiece, you’re good to go! If you’re hanging it, tie 3 pieces of rope to the wire part at the top of the lamp shade (so that it’s evenly hung). Then, tie them together on a branch or beam, or hook them onto the ceiling.

### Notes

All cutting and gluing should be done by an adult.
