Chinese Lanterns (Physalis Alkekengi)
Create a beautiful lifelike branch of Chinese lanterns complete with leaves, fruit in orange and green, and tiny white flowers. Each page of the written pattern features many full color photos of the steps. Information about the plant you’ll be creating is also included.

- Floral tape: white and light green
- Tissue paper
- Scissors
- Glue gun/ glue
- Paint: Bright olive green

Wire is used to support the leaves, fruit, and create stems. Paint and chalk are used to enhance lifelike color. Floral tape transforms wire into stems and wraps it all together.
