Palace lamp so assembled:

Method one

2, the palace lamp material splicing together, splicing needs to be installed directly in the correct position of the lamp, to light the light switch to reveal;

Method 2

Materials needed: four pieces of 230g A4 red paper, one piece of 120g A4 orange paper, a few pieces of red and green waxed paper, wool.

Step 1: Draw the paper pattern. Traditional dragons for hexagonal lanterns are more complicated, with whiskers and horns, and are best carved with a carving knife. Considering that it is done with children, we drew the image of the Red Mountain Jade Dragon, which is just a curve, easier to cut, and after making the lantern, we can take the children to the National Museum to see the Red Mountain Jade Dragon on the New Year's Day holiday. Other parts are also try to avoid knife carving.

The title frame, three inserts, this part of the painting, the other is much easier.

Middle circumference and upper and lower circumference, A4 paper is a little small, need to be spliced once, if there is a large open paper, directly draw six frames is good. Dashed line folding, solid line cutting, 230g of paper before folding remember to draw a crease (you can use a quill without water) and then in the fold, or fold out will not be neat.

Step 2: Officially begin to cut, according to the paper sample began to cut.

Step 3: Trace all the way around with gold ad paint. I don't have a picture, I forgot to take a picture while I was doing it, so just look at the finished product and you'll be able to see it.

Step 4: Decorate the center circle, you can draw some pictures on the six sides of the orange color, I cut some patterns and paste them. (I forgot to take a picture)

Step 5: Patchwork.

Step 6: Make 6 spikes to hang on the six corners, make some spikes with wool. The practice was not pictured. Look directly at the finished product.

Hexagonal palace lantern production is completed.
