How to make Lantern Festival lanterns? Please bring pictures === Thank you

1. Make the skeleton. The simpler shapes of paper lanterns are cubes or cylinders. It is best to use bendable bamboo branches or bamboo skins to form a frame, and the connecting parts are tied tightly with thin wires. If it's hard to find, long thin strips of cardboard or bamboo skewers used for barbecues will work. They will lack strength and flexibility, but they are also very good decorations when placed indoors. ?(The pieces of paper in the picture below are how to make paper lanterns~

2. Make the lamp body. Buy a few pieces of white or red ordinary rice paper or gold-sprinkled rice paper at the Wenfangsibao store, and cut them into lengths that fit the lantern frame. wide, you can design your own patterns. Calligraphy, painting, and paper-cutting can all be used on small lanterns. After pasting, you can also use narrow strips of imitation silk paper to make the edges look more elegant. It is very similar to the ancient palace lanterns. If you are not good at calligraphy and painting, there is a simple method for reference. Use a piece of tissue paper to trace the desired words on the copybook, and then overlap the tissue paper with the dark red rice paper. Use a single-edged blade to dig out the writing. Remove the tissue paper, and hollow writing will appear on the red rice paper. Use white rice paper to make the lamp body, paste the red rice paper inside, and the candlelight or light will be reflected from the hollow. The effect is quite beautiful. ?

3. Make a light source. If you put it indoors, you only need to light an ordinary candle in the lantern; if you want to carry it out, it is best to use a light bulb and a battery to make a simple circuit.

It may look a little rough, but lighting a handmade lantern during the festival will definitely give it a special flavor!

Finally, don’t forget to tie a small knot on the lantern and connect it to a small stick~ so that you can walk around with the lantern~~? Du Niang didn’t let us post more pictures~ I’d better experience it for myself~ Haha~ I wish you the best Success~
