Practice of lanterns

The practice of lanterns is as follows:

In traditional folk customs, red lanterns represent blessings and happiness. We can use different materials to make all kinds of exquisite festive lanterns, most of which are recycled, killing two birds with one stone.

What I want to share with you today is to make a small fish lantern with colorful cardboard, which means that the industry is redundant and beautiful. Very suitable for Chinese New Year. The method is also simple, that is, draw a fish first, then cut it, add ropes and spikes, and finally make a small stick to pick lanterns.

Materials:

A red cardboard, a red rope, a red cardboard, two small yellow colored papers, a roll of double-sided tape and a pair of scissors.

1. Let's make a simple lantern today. Get the materials ready first. The main material is a red A4 cardboard. First, split it in two.

2. Draw a fish on both sides of colored paper.

3. Then cut the fish with scissors.

4. Stick double-sided tape on the inner layer of the fish, and then cut off the ears with a piece of Zhang Xiaohong cardboard.

5. Thread the spike with a rope, then put the rope in, then tear off the double-sided adhesive tape and stick the two sides together. Then cut out four small pieces of paper with small yellow cardboard to make patterns on the fish and stick them with double-sided tape.

6. Finally, roll a stick with small yellow cardboard to pick lanterns. Here, this simple handmade lantern is ready.
