How to make traditional craft lanterns?

The design and manufacturing methods of lanterns are as follows:

1, blanking directly according to the shape, and then welding step by step.

2. Enlarged sample method. If you are not sure about the shape, you can enlarge the sample with hard paper. If the object is too big, you can take the method of local amplification.

3, build a real body, make a physical object according to the idea, and then make a skeleton. If you use foam board or clay as an object (suitable for people, some people have poor modeling ability when making a skeleton, but they may have modeling ability when making an object)

4. When making a skeleton, it is easier to have the concept of contour, and the contour modeling is accurate. Another reasonable manufacturing method, we call it profile method. Give a more vivid example: a radish is a cylinder and a vertebral body. Cut the radish vertically into several pieces. The edges of each piece are iron bars of the skeleton, and then they are combined to form the skeleton. Therefore, this method can be used for people and birds.

5. Try not to cross the skeleton, especially when one rides the other, which will lead to "edge". It is too natural to fully consider the convenience of pasting and the need of "plane".
