Making lanterns with environmentally friendly materials makes traditional culture more environmentally conscious.

introduce

Lantern is an important element of China traditional culture, representing reunion, peace and good luck. However, traditional lanterns are usually made of paper and bamboo, which are not only easy to get wet and burn, but also produce a lot of waste in the production process, causing great damage to the environment. Therefore, it is necessary for us to find a more environmentally friendly material to make lanterns, so as to make traditional culture more environmentally friendly.

Selection of environmental protection materials

In order to make environmentally friendly lanterns, we need to choose an environmentally friendly material. At present, there are many environmental protection materials to choose from in the market, such as biodegradable materials and recyclable materials. Here, we choose to use biodegradable materials-starch-based bioplastics to make lanterns.

Production steps

The following are the steps to make environmentally-friendly lanterns:

1. Preparation materials: starch-based bioplastics, lantern holders, scissors, glue, ribbons, etc.

2. Cut the starch-based bioplastics into pieces of appropriate size.

3. Put the starch-based bioplastics into hot water and heat them until they are dissolved.

4. Place the lantern frame on the desktop and coat the dissolved starch-based bioplastics on the lantern frame.

5. After the starch-based bioplastics are cooled and solidified, take out the lantern frame from the starch-based bioplastics.

6. Fix the ribbon on the lantern frame and decorate the lantern.

7. Hang lanterns in the right place and enjoy the beauty of lanterns.

Advantages of environmental protection lanterns

Compared with traditional paper lanterns and bamboo lanterns, environmental protection lanterns have the following advantages:

1. environmental protection: using starch-based bioplastics to make lanterns will not pollute the environment.

2. Durability: Starch-based bioplastics have good durability, and the lanterns made can be reused.

3. Beauty: The appearance of lanterns can be decorated according to personal preferences, which is more beautiful.
