Handmade methods of Lantern Festival Introduction of Handmade methods of Lantern Festival

1. Materials and tools: red A4 cardboard, gold thread or rope, pencil, gold lacquer pen, thick cardboard, A4 white printing paper, super glue, PVA glue, strong double-sided adhesive tape, fishing line, scissors, ruler, X-ACTO knife, sewing needle, cutting pad, awl and clothes peg.

2. First, cut a piece of A4 white paper into a square, and then fold it diagonally into a triangle.

3. Fold this triangle in half and flatten it.

4. Then take a step, take a ruler, and mark a point of 7.62 cm from one side edge of the 90-degree angle.

5. At the same time, mark the point on the long side of the crease (just done). Connect the two marks with a ruler.

6. Fold this paper along this line.

7. Then fold the right corner to the left.

8. Draw a line in the center of the folded shape.

9. Then draw the petal shape and try to make it symmetrical.

10, cut it, and a petal shape is completed.

1 1. Put the template on the red cardboard. Center it at least 1 cm away from all edges.

12, and then draw a circle around the template with a pencil. At the end of each petal, add a circle with a width of about 1 cm.

13. Cut out this shape-including the circle.

14, and then add a gold line to the edge of the shape.

15. Use some 1 mm satin thread and some crochet thread, both of which are gold.

16. Cut two lines about 10- 12 inch long and set them aside. Then cut out a piece of waste paper board 7.5cm wide. Wrap the rope around the cardboard until you think it is enough for tassels.

17, then tie a 25 cm long rope, and the remaining two ends should be equal in length.

18. Remove the thread from the cardboard.

19, then put it in the center of another 25 cm long line and tie a double knot.

20. Cut off the bottom of the tassel and trim the end to make it neat.

2 1. Invert the cardboard on the cutting pad or a piece of broken cardboard. Use an awl to add a hole in the center and middle of each small circle.

22. Bend the petals of the card upward into a smooth curve with your fingers.

23. Pass the line connecting the tassels upward through the hole in the center. Tie a knot at the end so that the tassel will hang down.

24. Cut a fishing line and tie the center of the line directly above the tassel line and directly below the knot. This line needs to be about 70 centimeters long.

25. Add super glue to the tassel knot and dry it.

26. Thread the two loose ends of the fishing line through the sewing needle. Then thread the needle and thread through each hole at the end of each petal from the inside out.

27. After screwing the two petals together, add a little PVA glue between the two small circles and keep them together for a few minutes. Then put the next petal and repeat until all the small circle shapes are stuck together.

28. Tightening the fishing line will "tie up" the petals. Stick the circles together until the glue dries.

29. Then drop a drop of super glue on the top hole to improve safety. Dry.

30. Cut a strip from the remaining red cardboard. The waist width is about 1.5 cm.

3 1, then calculate how long it takes to make a ring suitable for the top of the lantern, and then add 0.5 cm.

32. Cut the strip into two just calculated lengths.

33. Then, use a gold paint pen on each front end to make it golden.

34. Of the two made, 1 should be placed on the top of the lantern, and the other should be placed on the base of the lantern.

35. You can also add many equal-length ropes/threads as decoration, and then glue the edges in place and dry them.

36. Roll it up to form a ring, and then fix it with tape.

37. Stick it on the top of the lantern (first thread the fishing line through the ring).

38. Then it's time to do the same for the bottom. Wrap cardboard around the top of the tassel under the lantern and fix the ring in place.

39. Stick the ring on the bottom of the lantern.

40. This beautiful and lovely Lantern Festival lantern is ready.
