Mid-Autumn Festival Lotus Lantern Making Method

Mid-Autumn Festival Lotus Flower Lamp Making Methods are as follows:

1. Prepare the bottom of the lotus flower: First, cut a piece of paper into a circle, which will become the bottom of the lotus flower. You can choose different sizes of circles to make different sizes of lotus flowers.

2. Make the petals of the lotus flower: Cut five or more pieces of paper of the same shape and fold them in half to make a semi-circle shape. Apply glue or use tape to secure one side of the semicircle to form the petals.

3. Assemble the petals: Fix the petals evenly on the circle at the bottom of the lotus flower, making sure they are tightly arranged to form a complete lotus flower. Make the lotus flower. Use a small piece of bamboo stick or plastic straw to create the center of the lotus flower. Attach it to the center of the lotus flower.

4. Connecting the Lotus Flower and the Lotus Puff: Use thin colored thread to connect the bottom of the lotus flower to the lotus puff. Leave enough thread to hang the lantern. Add a light source, install candles, LED lights or glow sticks on the top of the lotus flower canopy as a light source for the lotus lantern. Make sure the light source is safe and avoids fire hazards.

5. Hanging and lighting: Use colorful thin wires to hang the lotus lanterns in the right place and then light up the light source. Enjoy the sight of the beautiful Lotus Lanterns blooming in the night of Mid-Autumn Festival.
