We are reluctant to call theses paper lanterns cheap because their quality and value are outstanding for the price. These yellow No Frills paper lanterns have pared down packaging, simple expanders, and have been designed to be sold in bulk so we can keep the prices super low! These lanterns are perfect for decorating parties, weddings, and other events - without breaking your budget. They are designed for use with a cord set or battery lights only. (Please note that the No Frills colors do not exactly match the Premium Lantern colors and the Fine Line Lantern colors. If you need matching colors please shop within one line. Also, since our No Frills lanterns are handmade, they may have slight color variations between sizes. If you need a specific color to match exactly from size to size, please call customer service for color consultation or consider our Premium Lantern line.) Looking for a different lantern?
