Installation method of hexagonal lantern

The installation method of the hexagonal lantern is as follows:

Ideas and creativity.

The choice of the overall theme can involve all aspects and should not be limited to one aspect. To use your imagination, you'd better have stories, sources and interests. The theme we choose here is "city memory", that is, the overall effect of lanterns should arouse the audience's impression or memory of Zigong.

Skeleton making.

The skeleton making of lanterns needs to follow certain principles: light, dense and accurate.

The lantern type we choose is a basic hexagonal lantern, so the most important thing in skeleton making is that long and short wooden sticks need to be connected together through slots respectively. In this process, the materials used are not only wooden sticks, but also glue and a small hammer.

Lighting layout technology, electronic lighting installation.

After the skeleton is completed, after inspection, there is no need for major adjustment, and lamps can be installed. Remember never to install lamps after pasting. The principles of lamp arrangement are: uniform light, consistent color, no strong light, moderate position and no dark corners.

The lantern we made is a basic model, so we only need to install a lamp in the center of the bottom of the lantern, so the main thing to pay attention to is the proper position and the elimination of dark corners. We apply sponge glue to the beam at the bottom of the lantern, then fix the small lamp in a suitable position at the bottom and turn it on for inspection.

Paper pasting technology, yellow paper pasting.

There are many kinds of materials for pasting, such as paper, silk and colored cloth. What we need to pay attention to when choosing is the light transmittance of the material. Too thin, the lights inside will not be smooth; It's too dense for the light of the lamp to penetrate. Therefore, if we make multi-lamp lanterns, we need to adjust the sparsity of the paste materials according to the intensity of light.

Our lantern has only one lamp, and the distance from the six sides to the light source is equal, so it is made of sparse and even yellow paper. Pay more attention to the cutting of yellow paper when pasting, and try to make the size of lamp paper just right, and the lines of lamp paper are smooth and supple, giving people a sense of beauty.

DIY hexagonal lantern pattern.

Decoration is the last step of lantern making, mainly to achieve icing on the cake and sublimate the theme. According to different creative needs, in places with too much blank space, various arts can be appropriately used for decoration, such as sticking paper-cuts, painting landscapes, writing calligraphy, coloring and so on. It should be noted here that some decorative string lanterns should not be too much, so as not to rob the lantern of its own color.

The results show that.

In the content design of Zigong Lantern Festival, the local "Three Wonders" (Well Salt, Dinosaur Lantern Festival) and "Three Wonders" (Paper-cutting, Tie-dyeing and Gong Fan) are selected almost every year, and organically integrated into the Lantern Festival group, especially the Dinosaur Lantern Festival group, which also represents the characteristics of Zigong Lantern Festival.
