Lantern handmade method lantern handmade method is what

1, prepare materials: a number of red and white rice paper, candles, light bulbs, bamboo sticks or bamboo sticks, scissors, paste or glue.

2, making the skeleton. Lantern simple shape is generally cylindrical or cubic, so we can use a good bending bamboo branches or bamboo skin to build a frame, and then use a thin line to tie the joints. If you can't find bamboo branches, you can also use thin strips of cardboard and barbecue bamboo sticks instead, but the degree of solidity and flexibility is not as good, but for us to display indoors is still good.

3, make the lamp body. To the stationery store to buy a few sheets of white and red rice paper or sprinkled rice paper, and then cut the rice paper to meet the length and width of the lantern skeleton, the lantern pattern can be designed by yourself, you can write, draw, or even cut paper, so that the production of the lantern is. After gluing the rice paper, the narrow strips of imitation damask paper are then edged at the top and bottom, which will make the lantern look more elegant, more like the palace lanterns in ancient times. If you are not good at painting, then you can use a piece of thin paper in the post above the word traced down the words you want, and then overlap this thin paper and red rice paper, with a razor blade and then scrape off the words, remove the thin paper, the red rice paper on top of the skeleton will appear in the words, and then use white rice paper for the body of the lantern, red rice paper glued to the inside, when the candlelight or light from the hollowed out place of the reflection of the time, the effect will be very beautiful.

4, make the light source. If your lantern is intended to be placed indoors, then just light a normal candle inside the lantern, if you want to raise the made lantern then make a simple circuit with a light bulb and batteries. Although this lantern is not as delicate as the lanterns sold outside, but your own handmade lanterns have a different flavor.
