The manufacture method of that simple rabbit lamp is as follows:

1. Draw a rabbit's lamp, which is divided into three parts: body, head and ears, which are semicircular, oval and rectangular, that is, the shape of the wire skeleton that needs to be cut out.

2. To make the skeleton, firstly, cut out the iron wire with appropriate length as shown in the drawing, and leave a certain margin at both ends for connection, and cut out various components according to the dimensions shown in the drawing.

3. Each component needs two parts, which are closed. Cut the connecting wire, connect the front and rear pieces of the car body, press the upper and lower points to fix them, and connect the two pieces with the car body with thin iron wire.

4. Make a fifth connection between the two heads, which preferably coincides with the fixed point of the head and the ear. Connect the ear and the head with thin wire, put the connected skeleton on a plane, adjust the details, tie a wire between the two connecting wires below and fix the candle.

5. Wrap the wire with cloth first, then put the lamp face on it, cut the cloth into the required pattern, and sew the rabbit lamp on the wire with a needle.

6. Decorate the rabbit again. After the decoration, put the rabbit lantern on the shelf, or put on a rope to hang it. In this way, the simple rabbit lantern is ready.
