Making steps of lanterns

Step 1: Prepare 12 small wooden sticks with the same length and assemble them into a basic lantern rack. If there is no connecting plug in the picture, you can connect the sticks with a strong rope, and then wrap the thin linen that you don't want at home around the frame and stick it on the bracket.

The second step is to fold a piece of red colored paper in half, and then draw a favorite pattern on the sealed side, such as fish, rabbits, love and so on. Then draw some simple patterns inside and cut them along the edge, and the patterns will be hollowed out;

Step 3, stick the cut lanterns outside, and then wrap ropes around the opposite sides of the bracket.
