5 out of 5 starsIt's magnificent! Even without the personalisation, the final effect still takes the breath away, especially at night.

5 out of 5 starsThis is my second purchase! The Koi fish are absolutely beautiful and dream like. It’s also feels meditative to put the koi fish together. The seller is also responsive and cares about the satisfaction of her buyers. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to have a cool art project and beautiful decorative piece for your home at the end!

5 out of 5 starsAn amazing product, and the vendor was incredibly helpful when the first package got lost in transit during the christmas chaos. Looking forward to getting more of these in the future and gradually turn my apartment into a glowing pond

The finished Koi Lantern sits on top of the Koi Kit that created it. I love how paper can transform like magic. -
I love the way light peeks through the scales of a Copper Koi Lantern. Each paper color offers such a unique look. -
7 Koi hanging from the ceiling make me feel like I'm in a water wonderland where fish fly like birds. -
Each Koi Lantern Kit includes a free Mini Star. I love making a handfuls of stars and scattering them around the Koi. -
I've been designing a paper Lotus Lantern to go with the Koi. More coming soon!
