Eid Lantern Money Holders {Tutorial} Guest Post

ramadan crafts, eid money holder

I saw these creative Eid lantern money holders and asked the artist to write up a tutorial as part of our Ramadan crafts series on how she made them. 

Today’s guest post is by Tahmina Ansari.

Being a working mom of three toddlers leaves me with little time on my hand but I was inspired to make this craft for Eid money holders for my nieces and nephews.

I was a little overwhelmed by the cutting and gluing process and happened to come across the following items in Target which made the process faster and more fun.

Let’s see how Tahmina made these lantern holders during her Ramadan:

Supplies

Adhesive square label pockets
Pencil felt banner
Lantern template
Decorative Washi tape
Scissors
Marker
