Simple manufacturing method of handmade lanterns

The simple manufacturing method of manual lantern is as follows:

1. First, draw a horizontal line in the middle of the cardboard with a ruler and find the midpoint of the horizontal line. Then, with the middle point as the starting point, divide several points with equal distance and length on the horizontal line and mark them well.

2. Draw a semicircle with compasses with the center line point as the center and the equidistant length as the radius.

3. Connect the contact on one side of the center of the circle and the next contact adjacent to the other side of the center of the circle into an arc, that is, turn the originally drawn semicircle into a spiral.

4. Cut the drawn spiral with scissors, and then fasten the snap button in the center of the spiral, so that the rotating part of the lantern is finished.

5. Wrap one end of the metal wire around the cup and straighten it with pliers at the other end. Note that this step is best operated by parents, who need to clamp the cup mouth and the lead hard to prevent the lead from falling off.

6. Put the spiral cardboard cut before into the iron wire at the other end, and let the tip of the iron wire pass through the pre-buckled metal snap fastener.

7. Put a candle in the glass, light it, and then gently blow the cardboard, and you will see the spiral body rotate automatically.

Production preparation and precautions:

1. Prepare production tools, such as cardboard, iron wire, metal snap fasteners, candles, glasses, rulers, scissors, pliers, compasses, etc.

2, the prepared cardboard must not be too soft, because the rotation of the lamp needs to light candles, so that the heat and wind can make the cardboard rotate.

3. Sharp tools such as scissors, wire, pliers and compasses are needed in the production process.
