Above my cabinets I have 6 Lanterns from around the world. They sit on top of pieces of ice these branches give just the right light look to the base wrapping in and out of your bonsai Trees. Everyone it takes there breath away when I light the 6 Lanterns. It takes this unusual look to pull this off and the branches are perfect!!! Pros: easy to work with just open the branches. Cons: I love the natural cream look against a white white background.
