How to make lanterns? Handmade Lantern Festival.

The method of making lanterns by hand during the Lantern Festival is as follows:

1 First of all, we need to prepare materials for making lanterns: paper cups, red lines, glue or double-sided tape, colored pencils or chalk and scissors.

2. Take out a prepared paper cup, and then cut the paper cup evenly into strips with the same size along the direction from the mouth to the bottom with scissors.

3. After longitudinal cutting, trim the edge of the cup mouth to ensure cleanliness and conciseness.

4, you can trim the cup body strip to ensure that the width of the strip is the same everywhere, and try to cut the mouth into a smooth rectangle.

5. After pruning, the vertical bars are bent inward one by one, initially showing the shape of lanterns.

6. Then, take out another prepared paper cup and cut the mouth of the cup, leaving only the part about 2 cm at the bottom of the cup.

7. According to the cutting method of the last paper cup, cut the remaining cup bottom into strips with the same size.

8. Drill a small hole at the bottom of two paper cups and put it on with red thread.

9. Glue the vertical strips of two paper cups one by one. After the bonding is completed, the lantern is almost shaped. You can also use your creativity and add some other decorations.
