Extended data:

The simple shape of a paper lantern is a cube or cylinder. It is best to make a frame with flexible bamboo branches or bamboo skins, and the joints are tied tightly with thin lines. If it is difficult to find, you can also use slender cardboard and bamboo sticks for barbecue. The firmness and elasticity will be lacking, but it is also a good decoration indoors.
