How to make lanterns ()

You can use colored paper of different colors, cut it into long strips with scissors (according to the circumference of the lantern skeleton, it should be a little longer) and then paste it one by one. You can also cut the paper into petals along the shape of the skeleton and paste it from top to bottom.

First make a spherical lantern, which can be made of bamboo and iron wire, and then paste a layer of rice paper.

If you think it's a little wasteful to use post-it notes, you can also use the pages of old books, but you'd better have a punch to help.

We made lanterns, and for safety, we put LED lights in them.

Lantern, also called lantern color, is a traditional handicraft in ancient China.

Originated in the Western Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago, red lanterns symbolizing reunion are hung around the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month every year to create a festive atmosphere.

Later, lanterns became a symbol of happiness for the people of China. Through the inheritance and development of lantern artists in past dynasties, colorful varieties and exquisite craftsmanship have been formed.

Hanging lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first month is full of festive atmosphere everywhere. When I was a child, my mother often made lanterns for our sisters with radish or cabbage roots. Simple as it is, it is a wonderful childhood memory.
