Wishing Lantern preparations

Ah 'tis the time of the Wishing Lantern Parade, Margates one and only. Spent yesterday with 35 kids making water droplet shaped lanterns as a local school. Gggreat fun, masking tape madness, dollops of PVA glue, willow and a handful of frustrated moans at clingfilm that just won't cling! Still we ended up with a ceiling full of lanterns, no major strops, and a good time had by all - even by the boy who prefered to make a canoe!
