How to make lanterns?

Flower lanterns are made as follows:

1, first of all, find a paper cup, it will be folded up around the edge of the circle cut off, so the paper cup becomes the right in the picture above, this is the first step.

2. Next, cut the perimeter of the cup into even vertical strips, and then trim each strip by subtracting two corners of the rectangle to make it pointy, as shown in the photo on the right.

3. After the corners of each vertical strip are cut, separate all the vertical strips, as shown in the picture on the left, like a flower. Next cut the bottom of another paper cup to seal the lantern.

4. Next, glue each vertical strip to the top of the cup bottom you just cut, and then cut another circle from the top of the cup with the bottom cut off to trim the edges of the lantern.

5, the just cut off the circle pasted on the vertical strips of the pointed corner of the lantern, the general shape of the lantern will come out, and then the lantern of the vertical strips outward stretch a little, so that it looks more like a lantern.
