Desperate for Chinese New Year Lanterns

My daughter and I saw these valentine lantern garlands at the dollar store. We were desperate enough for Chinese New Year decorations, that we decided to mangle up perfectly the good heart shape:
and cut them out into wonky circles:

And instead of a garland, we just had the lanterns hang haphazardly on the chandelier.
We rather like the festive effect:

Seeing as Chinese New Year lasts for 15 days, and Valentine's day is only celebrated on the 14th, we have decided to go heavy on the new year deco!
