How to make lanterns?

The method of making lanterns is as follows:

1. First, fold a piece of red paper, each end of which is 2 cm long. Spare. Then cut the middle part with a knife. I used1.5cm. For neatness, I measured it with a ruler. Very uniform.

2. Then, another piece of red paper with the same length and width can be reduced by 8- 12 cm. Stick the double-sided adhesive tape to the long side for later use. Stick two pieces of paper together, first on one side and then on the other. Finally, as shown.

3. After gluing, connect the two ends. Stick it on for later use. Fourth: cut the yellow paper into strips, 2 cm wide, for use. Stick the cut strips on the upper and lower parts of the lantern. (Double-sided tape is more beautiful)

4, make tassels, a small piece of red paper, cut the lower end into strips, and leave a little on it. Roll it up and wrap the uncut part with yellow paper (leave a little red)

5. lanterns are fixed inside. I made a cross with tape, put the tassel on, fixed the lower end and fixed the upper end with a stick. The lantern is finished.
