material preparation

The materials needed to make handmade lanterns are very simple, just prepare the following:

1. Colored paper

2. scissors

3. Glue or tape

4. Thread or rope

5. candles or LED lights

Step 1: Make a lantern rack.

First, we need to make a lantern rack. Fold a rectangular piece of colored paper in half, and then cut some parallel lines from one folded end to the other, leaving a certain gap. Then the two ends of the paper are butted and glued together with glue or tape to make a cylindrical frame. This is the basic framework of handmade lanterns.

Step 2: Decorate lanterns.

Next, we can start decorating lanterns. You can decorate with colored paper, stickers, colored pens and other materials according to your own preferences. You can draw your favorite patterns on lanterns, or you can cut out various shapes with colored paper and stick them on lanterns.

Step 3: Add a sling.

After decorating the lanterns, we need to add suspenders to them. You can use thread or rope to pass through the two ends of the lantern, then tie it tightly and fix it, and you can hang it.

Step 4: Light the lanterns.

Finally, we need to put candles or LED lights in lanterns to light them. If you use candles, you need to pay attention to safety. It is best to put some sand or stones at the bottom of the lantern to prevent it from falling over.
