Folding method of paper lantern

The manufacturing method of paper lanterns is as follows:

Tools/materials: six square colored papers, one ear, glue.

Methods/steps:

1. First, prepare six square colored papers and take out one of them. Fold it left and right, then fold it up and down.

2. Then fold the four corners of the colored paper to the middle to make a new square.

3. Then fold the four corners of the new square towards the center again.

4. Open the lower right corner and fold it into a small square.

5. The other three corners are folded in the same way, so there are four small squares.

6. Next, take the diagonal as the center line, fold the corners on both sides of the small square in the middle, and fold eight corners at a time.

7. Then open these eight corners and fold them down.

8. After that, the right angle at the lower right of the two colored papers is folded back here, and so are the other three right angles.

9. Then fold five more colored papers in the same way.

10. Then, these six origami sheets are glued together, with one above, one below and four in the middle forming a sphere.

1 1. Finally, put your ear through the middle of the sphere and a paper lantern will be made.
