How to make a handmade Lantern Festival lanterns

Practice 1:

1, use double-sided tape to neatly fold and fasten together, draw the petals of the paper on the top.

2, cut it down with scissors, then fold it a few times to press all the edges out of the curve.

3. Finally, glue the cut out petals together in a tower stack.

Practice 2:

1, put the bamboo in a steam room, then take it out and put it in a cool place to dry, but not overly dry, or put it in the sun under strong light.

2, planing the skin cut degree: planing the rough skin, cut the bamboo strips of the required length, to the size of the lantern.

3. Weave the frame in a crosswise manner, and in the middle of the frame, tie a few bamboo rings on the wall of the lantern.

4, in the store to buy a few sheets of white, red rice paper or gilt rice paper, cut to meet the length and width of the lantern skeleton, you can design your own pattern. Calligraphy, painting, paper-cutting, can be in a small lantern on the show.

5. If you put it indoors, you just need to light an ordinary candle in the lantern; if you want to carry it out, you'd better make a simple circuit with light bulbs and batteries. Maybe it looks a little rough, but lighting a lantern of your own in the Lantern Festival, eh~ a different flavor!

6, the first diluted glue, evenly brushed on the surface of the skeleton, and then mounted cotton gauze, that is, the cut gauze lightly attached to the frame, and then use a brush dipped in glue to brush flat, and then finally paste two layers of single-light paper used to make the lantern

7, the lantern in a cool, ventilated place to dry.
