Method for making Lantern Festival lantern

The making method of Lantern is as follows:

Material preparation: scissors, needle and thread, red rope, various festive ornaments, various types (different thickness) of iron wire, pliers, thin red cloth or hard red paper, glue, etc.

Operating steps:

1. To make lanterns, first of all, we must make a good foundation: use pliers to fold small and medium-sized iron wires into octagons, tie them at diagonal positions and edge joints, and fix them. Then make two frames up and down, and connect them with medium-sized iron wires, and one frame is basically completed. (Note: The bottom and top need three octagons respectively, as shown below. A small octagon and two larger octagons form the bottom, and then they are connected by iron wire. )

2. Then, make two pieces from top to bottom and connect them with medium-sized iron wires, and a frame is basically completed. (Note: The bottom and top need three octagons respectively, as shown below. A small octagon and two larger octagons form the bottom, and then they are connected by iron wire. )

3. Cut and paste the red coat again: use thin red cloth or red paper, draw it according to the size, cut it into octagons, and paste or sew the paper-cut patterns on it (this is more troublesome, so we should design octagonal patterns, and each piece should be cut open in a suitable position).

There are eight holes on the top and bottom of the lantern for hanging various holiday decorations. It can be paired with some headgear ornaments that are vigorous and powerful in the Year of the Tiger. The following can be matched with some auspicious figures, such as Cai Ding Wang Xing and Wang Hong pendants, and the overall effect will come out. Tie a rope on it and hang it up. In this way, beautiful lanterns are made.
