Method for make folk handmade lanterns

0 1 To make lanterns, the first thing we need to do is the skeleton of the lanterns. Common lanterns are cubic or cylindrical. Tie the bamboo strips prepared in advance into the shape of lanterns with thin white thread, and be careful to tie them tightly, otherwise the lanterns will be unstable.

Next, we will make the main body of the lantern. You can buy some red rice paper in the bookstore. Pure red lanterns are very beautiful. If you have leisure and elegance, you can draw some patterns or write some words on the lanterns.

There is a light source in the lantern, which will present a particularly classical and charming artistic conception at night. Therefore, we also need to prepare a light source for lanterns. The choice of light source can be candle or light bulb, which is safer than candle.

Finally, what we need to do is to stuff the light source into the lantern. You can get a small bracket inside the lantern to put the light source. Hang lanterns on the balcony or corridor when you are finished.
