DIY Tangled Inspired Paper Lanterns

I am trying to pick some of the Disney movies a lot of kids love, for the week ahead.

I love Tangled, I think the way they did it was great!

I was always a huge Beauty & the Beast fan and while that will forever be

my all time favorite the newer Disney movies are just awesome

with the animation and the songs.

I have a whole Disney playlist on my phone for Celeste and you guessed

it Tangled is on there, that is one of her favorites as well.

I found this DIY and knew I had to blog it that way when she is older we

can make them together.

Here's what you'll need:

construction paper

toilet paper rolls

scissors

glue

crayons

Create:

First, put construction paper around the toilet paper roll.

Measure the construction paper and cut it to fit to size.

It doesn't have to be perfect.

On some of the rolls you can decide to add extra decorations.

Like the Rapunzel sun and swirls before you glue it on to the toilet paper roll.

Remember this will be the inside of your lantern so you won’t see all the decorations.

Next it’s time to make the outside of the lantern. Measure another piece of

paper to fit around your toilet paper roll.

Then fold it in half. Cut from the folded side. Leave about

an inch edge on the paper.

After you unfold the paper you can secure the two ends to make the lantern.

Now it’s time to add the outer paper on to the toilet paper roll. You can either

use a stapler to secure the paper or glue.

Add an extra touch by using a battery operated tea light

to the lantern to make it glow.

Depression Sucks!

Dear Diary....Depression Sucks, I have it marked in the "About Me" section that I am Bipolar. I was diagnosed Manic Depressive when I was 15, and then at a later date it turned too Bipolar Type 2. What is Bipolar 2 Disorder? It is a form of mental illness, it is similar to Bipolar 1 except with moods cycling between high and low over time. Most of the time the "up" moods never reach full blown mania (I have had that twice in my life). The less intense elevated moods in bipolar 2 are called hypomanic episodes. Most people that have Bipolar 2 suffer more from depression, which is where the term mani depression comes from. Depressive episodes can last weeks, months and (rarely) years. I have never let being bipolar define me but I am not going to lie it has affected a lot in my life. Especially when I am in the "manic" state. Again was only twice in my life but when it happened everything durring that period of time changed! ...
