How to make lotus lanterns?

The practice of lotus lantern is as follows:

Required materials: 2 pieces of square green colored paper with the same size, 4 pieces of pink, fine iron wire or sewing thread, scissors.

1. We divide all square colored paper into 12 equal rectangles.

2. We fold the rectangle horizontally, and then fold four right angles parallel to the transverse midline to form four isosceles right triangles with the same size; Then fold the upper and lower sides in half towards the middle.

3. We fold the green colored paper inward and the pink colored paper outward, and then list the pink colored paper on the green colored paper, with three as a group and one ***4 components.

We use sewing thread or thin iron wire to fix the four parts in the middle.

5. After fixing, arrange the four components, let the components expand in eight directions, and then turn the petals up one by one, layer by layer. Pay attention. If it is broken, it won't look so good.

6. The last layer of green petals can be folded back slightly, and the whole beautiful lotus lamp will be folded. You can put an electronic lamp in it and use it at night. It tastes different.

Lotus is a sacred object of Buddhism. In the temple, Buddha statues sit on the lotus platform. In Buddhist scriptures, when the Buddha conveys Buddhism, it is called spitting lotus. This is because lotus has four virtues: fragrance, purity, softness and loveliness.
