The Method of Making Petal Handmade Lantern —— A Course of Making Petal Handmade Lantern

1. Preparation materials: lead wire, plastic foam board, post-it notes, blow-molded paper, candles, double-sided adhesive, transparent adhesive, scissors and art knife.

2. First, cut the lead wire into eight sections with scissors. Short leads are three-quarters of long leads. The length of the lead depends on your own preferences. The longer the lead wire, the bigger the petals and lanterns.

3. Cut out two circles, one big and one small, on the plastic foam board with scissors. The diameter of the great circle is the length of the lead.

4. Cut out four big petals, four small petals and eight small petals with blow-molded paper. The length of petals is one quarter shorter than that of lead wire.

5. Cut out a round surface larger than the plastic foam board with post-it notes, and then wrap the two foam boards with post-it notes.

6. Then stick the lead wire in the middle of the petals, you can stick it firmly with transparent glue, and then fix the candle on the flower core with double-sided tape.

7. The petals with leads should be slightly bent, then inserted into the chassis, and the upper and lower layers should be separated.

8. Fix the flower core on the chassis and a beautiful lantern will be made.
