The site looked a bit sketch and it was not very smart of me to order them from there.</p> <p>If anyone has ordered from there and recieved a confirmation email and the batteries they ordered, could you please let me know to put my mind at ease.</p> <p>(I ordered them this morning and I am used to recieving an email of order confirmation pretty much immediately)</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/lighting-paper-lanterns-with-throwies#post-392766 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 16:01:00 +0000 bearcub 392766@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>don't use fishing line, use dental floss!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/lighting-paper-lanterns-with-throwies#post-392761 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 15:57:24 +0000 beachybee 392761@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>So I decided to just be done with it and buy the LED's from buy-leds-online.com.&nbsp; I called them first to double check which ones were good for lighting paper lanterns and they said that they carry&nbsp;105XWWD Warm White LEDs specifically for that purpose.&nbsp; They cost 22 cents per LED, a bit more than the others, but whatever, I'm tired of researching and am happy to have a definitive answer to what will actually give off a true white glow.&nbsp; (I'll post a photo once I get the chance to test it out.)</p> <p>I ordered my lanterns from <a href="http://www.paperlanternstore.com">www.paperlanternstore.com</a>.&nbsp; 50 lanterns in various sizes ranging from 6" to 20."&nbsp; Colors: White and Natural&nbsp; Cost: $115.40 with the free shipping coupon "fship"</p> <p>Now I need to order the batteries.&nbsp; I'm going to drive over to the Dollar Tree and look for the CR2032 3V Lithium Batteries there.&nbsp; I'll also check out Wal-Mart.&nbsp; Otherwise I'll be ordering from ebay.&nbsp; I'll let you know&nbsp;what I come up with.</p> <p>What sort of fishing line did you use to hang them?</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/lighting-paper-lanterns-with-throwies#post-392138 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 12:02:41 +0000 crebre80 392138@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>hey belle: they supposedly&nbsp;stay lit around 100 hours or so... so more than long enough for any event... i am actually going to test light some to see how long they stay.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/lighting-paper-lanterns-with-throwies#post-392119 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 11:54:26 +0000 AnnieAAA 392119@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I just bought my LED lights from <a href="http://buy-leds-online.com/">http://buy-leds-online.com/</a>&nbsp;and received them, I'm waiting on the batteries that I should get on Tuesday and them I'm off to work.</p> <p>Apparently on buyleds they have introduced 10MM diffused warm white lights that are supposed to give a warm glow vs. the blue tint, these just became available a month of two back, so none of the previous posters on this thread used these specific lights.</p> <p>I will be sure to let ya'll know how the lights actually work, I'm keeping my fingers crossed!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/lighting-paper-lanterns-with-throwies#post-392090 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 11:37:57 +0000 bellenga 392090@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Q:&nbsp; How long does the led stay lit?</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/lighting-paper-lanterns-with-throwies#post-391403 Tue, 06 Oct 2009 23:30:07 +0000 crebre80 391403@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>You rock!! I actually think you can go to the Dollar Tree and get the Led tealights (1.00 for two) and use fishing wire to tie them to the top frame... They have an on-off switch, but ti is definitely the same principal!</p> <p><img src="http://www.yonmao.com/upfiles/LED-tea-light-main.jpg" /></p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/lighting-paper-lanterns-with-throwies#post-391396 Tue, 06 Oct 2009 23:21:42 +0000 bellenga 391396@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Thanks Miss RojoOso and Pengy for the how-to's!!!&nbsp;I heart this so much!&nbsp; Def going to have some of these at our reception!</p> <p>Now one question.&nbsp; How long does it take&nbsp;to create the throwie?&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/lighting-paper-lanterns-with-throwies#post-391387 Tue, 06 Oct 2009 23:08:37 +0000 beachybee 391387@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I would also like to know what became of the keychain idea.&nbsp; My wedding is November 7th (Yes, this is totally last minute...gah!).&nbsp; I have read every LED/Throwie/Paper Lantern tutorial on the internet and still haven't found a definitive answer to where can I get a throwie that doesn't produce a bluish light.&nbsp; If someone has used the keychain idea, please please please share a photo or words of wisdom.&nbsp; I've got this project, plus tissue paper pomanders, plus a wishing tree (maybe), plus votive candle place cards...well you all know how it is.&nbsp; \(>_ http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/lighting-paper-lanterns-with-throwies#post-383779 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 10:53:39 +0000 AnnieAAA 383779@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>OH Wow!
