Chinese paper lanterns are a cute way to spice up your soiree, and they can be easily made at home.
You can use any kind of paper you want, but it should be somewhat sturdy (so no tissue paper). Construction paper works wonderfully.
Take a sheet of your paper and fold it in half to make a long rectangle. Really press down and make the crease strong.
Use scissors and make vertical cuts along the edge of the fold. You’re basically making a fringe on the side of the paper that you made the thick crease on. Leave about an inch and a half to an inch at the top uncut!
Now unfold the paper and wrap the sheet into a cylinder shape and now the fringe should be in the middle of the lantern, like a belt.. Glue or tape the edges down.
You may now take another strip of paper around 5-6 inches long and glue it to the top of the lantern to form a handle. Make several lanterns and feed a string through these handles for an easy way to decorate for any party!

It would be quite convenient if your coverage include temporary accommodation, in case you have to stay elsewhere should your home be destroyed. Look also for extra service your insurer can provide, other than the itemised insurance quote. Added services you can definitely use include coverage in case of identity theft, covered legal expenses, and being provided the contact list of people who can repair your home.
